| Classification | Class II |

| Reason | In rare cases of insufficient maintenance or high clinical workload, the first rope of the ceiling stand, which is designed to take the load, could break without triggering the safety lock and this could lead to overloading the safety rope which is not designed for continuous load and ongoing movement under load. This may lead to mechanical fatigue and cause the arm to drop down during patient positioning. Patients and users may be seriously injured. |
