Likorall overhead lift is a stationary lift mounted in a rail system.The rail system can be built straight, with or without curves, as a traverse system and also as a room-to-room system.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.Upon inspection, baxter field service technician determined that the shaft inside the electrical motor had broken.Baxter field service technician replaced the electrical motor to resolve the issue.Based on this information, no further actions are required at this time.Although there was no reported injury with this event, if the report of a patient fall during a transfer were to recur, it could potentially cause serious injury or death.Therefore, baxter is reporting this event.
