Hillrom recalls Q-Link 13 components (Product Code 3156509) used with specific mobile patient lifts due to risk of false latching causing patient falls. Affected units were manufactured between August 2013 and February 2025.
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.
Hillrom is recalling Q-Link 13 components used with certain mobile patient lifts because they can become improperly attached (false latching). This may cause a patient to fall if the component loosens while bearing weight. Affected units were made between August 2013 and February 2025.
The Q-Link 13 component can latch incorrectly, initially holding weight but then loosening. This could cause the component to detach, leading to a patient fall. The hazard occurs during normal use when the lift is in operation.
