What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect in a medical device that can cause patient falls, with the source text explicitly noting that rare cases can result in death or serious injuries such as head trauma.
Plain-English summary
Invacare Corporation is recalling approximately 73,703 units of the Invacare 9805 and 9805P Hydraulic Patient Lifts. The recall was initiated after customer complaints identified a potential issue where the mounting bolt connecting the caster to the base frame may become loose. This hardware is distributed in the United States and internationally, including Canada, Colombia, Germany, Guam, India, Northern Mariana Islands, the Philippines, and South Africa.
If the mounting bolt becomes loose, it can cause wear to the hardware and housings. Over time, if the lift is not properly maintained, the caster may separate from the base, causing the lift to tilt and potentially resulting in a patient fall. While injuries are typically non-serious, such as bruising or lacerations, rare cases could involve bone fractures, head trauma, or death. Caregivers attempting to manually stabilize an unstable lift could also suffer sprains, back injuries, or fractures.
Consumers should stop using the affected lifts immediately. Invacare will provide impacted units lists with full serial numbers to consignees. Affected serial numbers range from 09FSZ590001 to 16ESZ104075, specifically those starting with prefixes such as 10ASZ, 11BSZ, 12CSZ, and 09FSZ.
