It was reported that during a patient transfer onto the sara stedy lift, the patient slipped and made contact with the knee support, resulting in minor injury (bruising to the knee/leg).Initial assessment suggested that a worn carpet may have contributed to the incident.However, following an inspection conducted by a service personnel, the carpet was found to be in acceptable condition.The carpet on the lift serves as the surface on which the patient stands during transfer procedures.It is a material covering the base of the lift.Wear was observed on one of the rear castors, but based on product knowledge, this component is not considered a contributing factor to this type of incident.The customer did not provide any further details regarding the circumstances of the event.The sara stedy instructions for use (001.20815) include step-by-step guidance for performing safe transfers.If needed the sling (back support strap) can be used.The ifu also states: ¿visually check exposed surfaces for damage, sharp edges, etc." if any such issues are observed, the lift should not be used.Due to the limited information provided in the complaint, it is not possible to determine the cause of the patient slipping from the lift.The arjo device was used for a patient treatment when the event occurred and from that perspective it played a role in the event.No malfunction that could have led to the incident was found during the device evaluation.The complaint was decided to be reportable due to the patient slipping out of sara stedy floor lift.
