The likorall overhead lift is intended for use in lifting and transferring patients, for example, from bed to a wheelchair, to or from the floor, for visits to the toilet, for gait, standing, and balance training, when weighing the patient, and when lifting the patient with a stretcher.The device instructions for use state ¿before lifting always ensure that: the lift strap is not twisted or worn and can move in and out of the lift unit freely; the lifting accessories are not damaged; the sling is correctly and securely applied to the patient in order to prevent injuries from occurring; and the lifting accessory is correctly applied to the lift.¿ an inspection of the device by a baxter service technician is pending.An onsite visit by a baxter lift representative noted that the facility was using the likorall device with a sling/harness (nausicaa) that was not compatible with the likorall device.An examination of the images provided by the customer found that the slingbar¿s quick-release red catch hook was broken and images display that the catch was likely broken prior to this event.The device instructions for use states the following when using a device fitted with a quick release hook ¿push down the red catch and connect the quick-release hook to the q-link.Release and check that the catch locks in order to prevent involuntary unhooking from the q-link.Before lifting check that the quick-release hook is correctly attached to q-link.¿ the device also provides an illustration of the correct placement/attachment of the hook.In this event, the patient experienced back and buttock pain with no further injury following a fall from approximately 1.20 meters.Pain is an unpleasant sensation that typically stops once the stimulus is removed, is not life-threatening, and does not require medical or surgical intervention to preclude permanent impairment of a body function or body structure.The patient did not sustain permanent impairment of a body function or permanent damage to a body structure and did not require medical or surgical intervention to preclude permanent impairment of a body function or permanent damage to a body structure, which concludes that no serious injury occurred.Although a device inspection is pending, it is noted that the customer attributes the cause of the event to use error.If the reported use error event (using incompatible sling and/or device with broken equipment) were to recur, it would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury.A final report will be submitted upon completion of the investigation.
