Philips North America Llc has recalled 2,038 HA FlexTrak and HA FlexTrak II patient transport trolleys because oil may leak from the hydraulic system onto the floor when the foot pedal is pressed. These trolleys are used to move patients between preparation areas and MRI rooms. A leak can create a dangerous slick on the floor, which may cause hospital staff, patients, or visitors to slip and fall. No injuries have been reported at the time of this notice, but approximately 2,038 units across multiple models and serial numbers are included in this global recall.
The hydraulic pedal mechanism can leak oil directly onto the floor during use. This creates an unexpected slipping hazard in clinical environments, which could result in falls and serious physical injuries for anyone walking near the device.
