| Reason/Issue |
Prism has been made aware of 17 incidents involving 300 series lifts in which the drive gear shaft has broken, eliminating the lifts ability to raise or lower a patient. Of these 17 incidents we have discovered 3 in which the free fall protection system did not engage properly. If both of these incidents occur at
the same time there is a risk for the person being supported by the lift to drop unexpectedly. The patients involved in the 3 incidents were not seriously injured and did not require medical attention. |
