Baxter Healthcare Corporation Mobile Lift Component Recall

This recall involves removing devices from where they are used or sold. The FDA has identified this recall as the most serious type. This device may cause serious injury or death if you continue to use it. Baxter stated that the Q-link 13 could allow for an improper attachment (false latching) of the Quick-Release Hook used on Sling Bars and other accessories. The false latched component may initially bear weight but can loosen from the Q-link resulting in a detachment and drop. This could result in a critical injury from a patient fall. A caregiver may also be at risk of injury while attempting to stop a patient from falling. Baxter has reported three serious injuries and one death associated with this issue.
