Recall Action Instructions ArjoHuntleigh would like to provide the following options to ensure continued safety and performance of your Minstrel Lift.

Option 1: The Minstrel Lift devices are close to their intended 10-year lifetime and ArjoHuntleigh would like to offer our customers a trade-in discount to purchase a new Minstrel ArjoHuntleigh patient transfer lift.

Option 2: An ArjoHuntleigh Service Technician will install a new scale with added locking features, to your existing Minstrel Lift, free of charge. If Option 2 is chosen, ArjoHuntleigh want to remind you that the Minstrel lift is near its intended 10-year lifetime and it should not be used past its lifetime, including installation of the new scale.
