FDA (Devices) recall action 81977
The FDA (Devices) publishes a recall like this one as 2 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 2 pages.
The firm has received 7 reports of malfunction for the device in which the hooks have broken off, potentially leading the sling to slip out of the sling bar and causing the patient to fall.
The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.
The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
Moller Vital is recalling 427 Molift 2-Point sling bars because broken hooks may cause the sling to slip, potentially leading to patient falls.
