D4:the device is distributed outside the us and no gudid information exists.Following a thorough investigation, no malfunction was identified with either the maxi move lift or the loop sling that could have caused the patient¿s fall.The most probable root cause is incorrect sling application.The information provided by the customer indicates that they intended to transfer the resident into a chair.The shoulder straps were attached using the yellow loops, and the leg straps were attached using the green loops.The sling used for patient's transfer has color-coded loops to help caregivers adjust the patient's posture.Each loop color represents a different length, and using them properly is essential for comfort and positioning.The passive loop sling instruction for use (ifu, 04.Sl.00-11en) provides comprehensive guidelines on how to correctly apply the sling, complemented by graphical illustrations for further clarification.Warning: ¿use the same loop length (loop colour) for the shoulder straps and the same length (loop colour) for the leg straps.¿ ¿first attach the shoulder loops, then attach the leg loops.¿ ¿do not cross the shoulder straps.¿ ¿cross the leg straps.Pull one strap through the other.¿ sum up, the incorrect sling application seems to be the most probable root cause.No deficiencies were identified in the lift or sling; both met their specifications.They were used as a system for patient transfer and therefore played a role in the incident.This complaint decided to be reportable due to the patient¿s fall.
