Excessive wear of the hanger bar bolt, that connects the lift arm to the sling spreader bar, may cause the bolt to snap allowing the patient to fall.
Letters were sent to all Faaborg lift customers on 11/29/01 and 01/24/04 advising the users that all bolts in connection with the hanger bar must be inspected, greased and tightened, and all defective or worn down bolts and washers must be changed. The 1/24/04 letters included an upgraded maintenance schedule and an Important Service/Safety Reminder, as well as a supply of hanger bar bolt washers. Any questions were directed to Moving Solutions' Service Department at 800-228-7980. Follow-up letters were sent to the accounts on 3/11/04, referencing the 1/21/04 letter and instructing the accounts not to use the lifts until the bolts have been inspected and retrofitted with the washers. Copies of the revised maintenance schedule and operating instructions were included.
Nationwide to nursing homes, residential schools and home patients, and internationally to Canada.
