Reason for Recall
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.
