| Reason/Issue |
Hill-Rom has received one complaint where the Ceiling Bracket 71 has been shipped with an increased size of the center hole.
A potentially hazardous situation exists if the Ceiling Bracket 71 with a larger center hole is used for a concrete ceiling installation since a M8 screw and washer will be used. Analysis has shown that if the bracket is mounted with a M8 screw and washer in a concrete ceiling Ultra System Installation (maximum load of 400 – 500 kg) there is a safety hazard associated with the installation that could potentially cause the system to fall. |
