Description

IMS Patient Scale used on Sunrise Medical's Hoyer Presence and Stature Patient Lifts (Cradle), Models: HOY-4pt-WSC and HOY-StatureWSC

Reason

Action

The scale manufacturer, IMS, in conjunction with the lift manufacturer, Joerns Healthcare (previously Sunrise Medical), will initiate a field fix strategy consisting of shipping replacement 4-point cradles without scales, for use until a replacement can be designed, tested and validated. Joerns will utilize their Customer Service Help Line (1-800-826-0270) on behalf of IMS, to inform customers of the voluntary field correction, address any questions regarding the IMS scale field fix strategy and to provide additional information on return of affected IMS Patient Scales.
