Electrical wheelchair component firmware flaw may cause unintended movement

mo-Vis BVBA is recalling IDM-ARLITE-R electrical wheelchair components due to a firmware defect. Affected units with firmware versions 2.3 and lower may skip the neutral position check on power-up, causing unexpected wheelchair movement.

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.

Plain-English summary

mo-Vis BVBA is recalling IDM-ARLITE-R electrical wheelchair components, specifically Model No. PRSPS00018 with serial numbers 1000 to 2647 (UDI-DI: 05407008320102). The recall encompasses 25 units distributed nationwide in Texas.

Devices with firmware versions 2.3 and lower experience timing variations between software tasks. These variations can cause the device to skip the necessary neutral position check when the wheelchair powers up.

When the neutral check is bypassed, the wheelchair may produce unintended movement upon power-up if the joystick is not in the neutral position. This poses an injury risk to wheelchair users.

Consumers with affected wheelchair components should contact mo-Vis BVBA for instructions regarding this issue.
