Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Drive medical previously reported an incident involving a rollator by an email from an attorney who reported the end user was sitting on the rollator when the pin came out of the leg causing the back wheel to come out.The end user fall backwards resulting in swelling and abrasions to her knees and elbow.The end user was evaulated at an emergency room and was discharged the same day.The end user required physical therapy for their back and knees.The device was not returned for evaluation; however, photographs were provided and reviewed by drive medical.Review of the photographs confirmed the reported condition, specifically that the knob near the rollator wheel was missing.Due to the lack of physical product availability, a comprehensive failure analysis could not be performed and the specific root cause could not be conclusively determined.Complaint data for similar events was reviewed as part of the investigation.A review of complaints received between march 2025 and september 2026 identified similar events with a calculated defect rate of 0.030%.The manufacturer will be notified of the complaint, and the available information will be provided for further investigation and evaluation of whether corrective actions are warranted.Complaints involving similar failure modes will continue to be monitored through post-market surveillance activities.
