Reported risk: Within the framework of our market surveillance, we have been made aware of one complaint in which a break of a weld of the support arm occurred. Due to the break the complete support arm could fall down. The problem was caused by inaccurate execution of the weld at a supplier. It cannot be excluded that further support arms of the femur hook devices are equipped with a faulty weld which finally could lead to the failure described above.
