The cot was evaluated by an authorized field technician at the complainant's location.A visual and functional evaluation was conducted and no malfunctions were noted and the cot was operatoring according to specification.After review of the investigation it is determined a malfunction of the cot was not the contributing factor to the incident but rather a loose paver catching the wheel of the stretcher and creating an obstruction.The ifu for the cot provides sufficient instructions and cautions for the proper operation of the cot around potential obstructions during a patient transport and proper placement of the medic crew and cot height to ensure a controlled and safe transport.The complainant did not have any additional information regarding the alleged patient injury and medical intervention required other than wound cleaning and a bandaid.
