It was originally reported that a user incurred a hand/wrist injury, however upon completion of the event investigation it was identified to be a foot injury.As a result of this reported event, a stryker quality assurance engineer spoke with a representative at the user facility who stated that 2 transporters were moving a stretcher with a patient when the transporter at the head end stopped moving and the transporter at the foot end continued to push the stretcher, which resulted in the 1 transporter running over the foot of the other transporter.The injured transporter had an x-ray which showed a hairline fracture to their toe.The transporter did not need a cast but did require medical treatment and was not able to work for a few days.The user facility did not know the exact model or serial number of the unit, but stated that it was a prime stretcher and that there were no defects with the stretcher.
