What is an Multirall Patient Transfer Lift?

What is the Problem?
The problem is that the lift’s Q-link strap lock does not attach properly to the S65 carriage hook. If the strap lock does not attach, the motor and/or the patient can fall. Patients who fall out of an overhead lift can suffer severe, life-threatening injuries or death, according to the FDA.
