Manufacturer Narrative

The complainant provided an incident report clarifying they experienced difficulty in extending the stretcher into position and they believed there to be some type of grinding when opening and closing the stretcher.The scoop stretcher was returned and a visual and functional evaluation was conducted.The unit was laid flat on a table and was then cycled open and closed with no issues.Multiple scratches and dents were observed on the stretcher.The stretcher was also reviewed for any sharp edges; however, no sharp edges were found.The reported complaint could not be duplicated and it is unknown how the emt allegedly cut his hand on the stretcher.A follow up communication was made to the emt and he stated the lacerations were superficial in nature and he did not seek any medical intervention.
