The FDA has classified ArjoHuntleigh Polska’s April 8 recall of its Sara Plus floor lift as a Class 1 recall because of the risk of serious injury or death.

The reason for the recall is a risk of smoke or fire from the printed circuit board overheating when the lift is used with a depleted battery. The recall included 1,929 products manufactured between Oct. 13, 2016, and Jan. 13 of this year, or units that received new printed circuit boards through March 4 of this year.

The floor lift is used for short transfers, such as raising patients from a bed to a wheelchair or from a wheelchair to a toilet. It is intended for use in hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare facilities.

There have been 44 complaints in connection with the recalled products but no reports of injuries or deaths so far, the FDA said.
