The notice informed the accounts of the potential for the roll pin to break due to a combination of severe corrosion and fatigue, leading to the detachment of the hanger bar from the jib of the lift. The accounts were advised to identify if they have any Arjo Maxilift patient lifters in their facility, identify which version of Arjo Maxilift hanger bar they have using the photographs in Figures 1,2 and 3 in the letter. Any lifters found with a hanger bar attachment as shown in Figure 1 must be immediately and permanently taken out of use, as the replacement hanger bar assembly is no longer available. Any lifters with a hanger bar attachment as shown in Figure 2 must be taken out of use until a correction has been performed by ArjoHuntleigh. Any lifters with a hanger bar attachment design as shown in Figure 3 are not affected and can continue being used.
