Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling 19,738 units of Hillrom Q-Link 13 and LikoScale components used with various mobile patient lifts. The recall affects components manufactured between August 2013 and February 2025 used on several Hillrom lift models, including the Uno, Viking, and LikoLight series. The recall was initiated because the Quick-Release Hook may fail to latch properly (false latching), appearing secure when it is not. If the hook detaches while in use, it could cause a patient to fall from the lift, resulting in critical injury.
The attachment mechanism could allow for an improper connection that may initially support weight but can unexpectedly loosen. This can cause the sling or accessory to detach and the patient to drop, posing a significant risk of severe impact injuries or death from a fall.
Used with Uno 102 EE, Viking L, Viking XL, Viking M, Viking S, Viking XS, and LikoLight Mobile lifts.
Used with LikoScale 200 Accessory, LikoScale 350 Accessory, and LikoScale 400 Accessory.
