PRISM MEDICAL A-625, MAX. LOAD 625 lbs. 283 Kgs., Patient lift, non-A/C powered
Reason
During internal cycle testing of A-Series lifts Handicare has found that the A-Series lift strap for lifts manufactured between April 25, 2017 and June 12, 2017 may wear prematurely at max load (625 lbs). We have identified the root cause as a supplied component that was not to specification. If the strap wears during use there is a potential risk for the person being supported by the lift to drop.
