Baxter Healthcare recalls Hillrom LikoScale component (Product Code 3156232) used with specific adapter kits for patient lifts due to risk of patient falls from improper attachment of Quick-Release Hook.
The Q-link 13 could allow for an improper attachment (false latching) of the Quick-Release Hook used on Sling Bars and other accessories. This could result in a critical injury from a patient fall as the false latched component may initially bear weight but can loosen from the Q-link resulting in a detachment and drop.
