What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II and involves a structural defect in a medical device used to lift patients, which poses a significant risk of serious injury if the coupling fails.
Plain-English summary
Moller Vital is recalling specific models of the Molift Air ceiling hoist, including the Air 205, Air 300, and their Propulsion and IRC variants. The recall involves 516 units, with 374 distributed in the United States and the remainder distributed internationally to various countries.
The recall is due to a potential defect where the bolt on the suspension coupling may come loose from the housing. This coupling holds the suspension fixed to the lifting belt. If the bolt becomes loose, the hoist may fail to securely hold the patient, creating a risk of injury.
Healthcare facilities and consumers who have these devices should stop using them immediately and contact Moller Vital for instructions on repair or replacement. The affected serial numbers are listed in the official recall documentation.
