The Micro Joystick R-net wheelchair control component may cause unintended movement when powered on with the joystick out of neutral. Firmware versions 2.3 and lower have timing issues that skip the safety neutral check.
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: This is an FDA Class I medical device recall. Per the rubric, Class I recalls have a minimum severity score of 4. The potential for unintended wheelchair movement presents a serious safety risk, as loss of control of a powered mobility device could result in serious injury, despite no incidents being reported to date.
Plain-English summary
The Micro Joystick R-net is an electrical control component used in powered wheelchairs manufactured by mo-Vis BVBA. Devices with firmware versions 2.3 and lower may experience timing variations between software tasks, which could skip the necessary neutral check during power-up.
When the joystick is out of neutral position and the device is powered on, the wheelchair may produce unintended movement. This could result in unexpected motion of the wheelchair without user intent.
Affected devices include three units with Serial Numbers 1000 to 1690, Model P002-52 (UDI-DI: 05407008320027), distributed in Texas.
