Arjo Concerto Basic Shower Trolley Recalled for Loose Bolts

Arjo is recalling 1,596 Concerto Basic Shower Trolleys because bolts connecting the stretcher to the hydraulic piston and tilting mechanism may become loose.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect (loose bolts) in a medical device used for patient handling, which poses a risk of harm if the stretcher fails, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities.
