Hill-Rom recalls LikoStretch Mod 600 IC models 3156065 and 3156065B (obsolete since June 2020) due to potential patient sliding during lifts. Affected units may require correction to prevent falls.
Stretch Leveller has the potential to lose the function of maintaining a patient in the horizontal position when lifting and in motion. When this function is lost the patient can slide backwards and potentially may fall out of the Oct lift sheet back onto the surface it is being lifted from.
Hill-Rom recalls two versions of the LikoStretch Mod 600 IC patient lift system because it can fail to keep patients horizontal during movement, causing them to slide backward and potentially fall. This risk is most concerning for healthcare workers using the device in hospitals.
