Powered Wheelchair Controller Software May Cause Unexpected Brake Stop
Pride Mobility is recalling 1,102 Q6 Edge HD powered wheelchairs due to a software issue in the controller that may cause unexpected park brake stops or system crashes when reminder pop-ups appear during use.
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: This is an FDA Class II recall involving a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported. The software defect may cause unexpected park brake stops during wheelchair operation, potentially resulting in falls or injuries, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported at this time.
Plain-English summary
Pride Mobility Products Corp. is recalling 1,102 units of the Quantum Rehab Q6 Edge HD powered wheelchair. The recall involves the controller component with software version 2.0.11, which is being updated to version 2.0.13.
The recalled wheelchairs were distributed nationwide in the United States, including in 49 states and the District of Columbia, as well as in Canada and Australia. The affected units have the lot code Q6 Edge HD 0060650920005*9 K042612 D049086 41875 ITI.
If the 'Remind Me Later' option is selected for user reminders, reminder pop-up messages may appear while the wheelchair is in use. If this occurs while driving the wheelchair, the wheelchair may perform an unexpected park brake stop, which may result in fall or injury. If this occurs while not driving the wheelchair, the control system may crash and remain in pre-operational mode.
Consumers should contact Pride Mobility Products Corp. to schedule a free software update. Until the update is performed, users should avoid selecting the 'Remind Me Later' option for user reminders.
