There have been zero (0) reports of these devices tipping over nor any adverse events associated with the failure mode.This mdr is being submitted solely on the basis for potential injury if the issue were to occur.These units are 30.5 x 24.0 x 73.0 in.(77.5 x 61.9 x 185.4 cm) and 350 lb.Potential health consequences are a range: · none, if the unit were to tip when there aren't individuals around or a unit tips and the person is able to get out of the way and not be struck by the unit as it falls.· minimal - if a person is struck by part of the equipment on a limb, there could be pain and bruising plus or minus the need for medical care.· significant - if the unit tips and lands on top of a person, there is a risk of serious injury requiring medical care, there could be long term/permanent sequelae from the injury, or a person could be killed.The risk analysis found there is a risk of tipping between 1/1000 - 1/10,000 (or, risk of a tipping incident occurring being between one in 6 years and one in 60 years).Someone would have to be struck or pinned down by the unit in order for any injury to occur, which would likely be fewer than the total number of tipping incidences.The risk of serious adverse consequences (e.G., broken bones, head injury, crush injury, crush syndrome) is less than the risk of a tipping incident causing a minor injury.Note: i received an undetected.Xml error when attempting to submit this report through the esg on 09-jul-2020.Therefore, i am re-submitting it today (25-aug-2020).
