Reported risk: 2001, Tanguay Magog, Qué. Canada J1X 5Y5 Recently, BHM Medical received an incident report concerning the Ergolift actuator. The incident involved a movement of the retainer ring due to wearing at the end of the stroke mechanism. If the wearing is not detected early, there is a possibility that the actuator may break causing a free fall. The report showed that the Ergolift actuators are fully secure when used within their maximum extension length. However, on a few of the actuators, we found that some wearing of the retainer ring may have occurred when the actuator was frequently extended to the end of the stroke. Frequent over extension may weaken the actuator increasing the risk of actuator breakage during a patient transfer.
