Plain-English summary
TRUMPF Medical Systems Inc. is recalling the Ondal AC2000 (PDI) Television Mounting System due to a falling hazard. The arm joints on these systems lack a washer at the top joint, which can lead to excessive wear of the stop pins. This wear can allow the arm system and any items connected to it to fall, potentially injuring the user or bystanders.
The firm received one report of a mounting system falling while being positioned, but no injuries have been reported. The affected units are off-white and feature multiple joints between the ceiling mount and the TV mount at the end of the arm system. These mounting systems were sold for use in hospital Intensive Care Units.
A total of 215 units were distributed to 5 hospitals nationwide from January 2005 through December 2011 for approximately $2,100 each. The products were imported by Ondal Medical Systems of America Inc. of Sandston, VA, and distributed by TRUMPF Medical Systems Inc. of Charleston, SC. Consumers should secure the unit to prevent movement and contact TRUMPF Medical Systems for information on receiving a repair kit that includes the missing washers.
