Plain-English summary
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a Class II recall of the Power F2 Powered Fastening System, Product No. 0567091, manufactured by Ferno-Washington Inc. A total of 278 units are affected by this recall.
The recalled device may experience accelerated roller wear and potential deformation due to interference between the roller assembly and rail. In the worst-case condition, the rail mechanism may become lodged during operation, preventing movement of the stretcher along the rail through either powered or manual operation. This may cause delays in transporting a patient to a healthcare facility.
The affected units were distributed nationwide in the United States and internationally in several countries including Poland, Netherlands, Canada, Germany, Norway, United Kingdom, Denmark, and New Zealand. The recall includes specific serial numbers listed under the UDI-DI 00190790006570.
Healthcare facilities and professional users who have the recalled Power F2 Powered Fastening Systems should immediately stop using the affected devices and contact Ferno-Washington Inc to arrange for inspection and repair or replacement. Users should follow any instructions provided by the manufacturer regarding alternative equipment during the remediation process.
