Intended use: An electrically-powered, mobile assembly of devices designed to enable one person to lift and move an incapacitated patient or a person with a disability safely and with minimal physical effort. Also known as a patient hoist, it typically consists of a support base on wheels with a motorized lifting mechanism, mast, boom/lifting arm(s), swivel bar, a patient holding device (e.g., a sling, holder or a frame). It is typically used to lift and move the occupant in a sitting or semi-sitting position over short distances within the treatment facility, e.g., from a bed to a bathroom.

- RECALL
ArjoHuntleigh has concluded that a device tipping hazard may occur on the current Sara Combilizer lifting mechanism, providing a potential for risk to the patient or the caregiver. The tipping phenomenon has been found during internal device testing. To date, there have been no adverse events or customer complaints related to the tipping phenomenon. The tipping hazard may occur when fully loaded Sara Combilizer in "stretcher mode" is lifted to the highest position (approximately 984 mm = 38 3/4") and tilted backwards to the angle of 25 degrees-28 degrees. Although such scenario has been defined as highly unlikely to occur during use with patients, as a commitment to quality, ArjoHuntleigh is providing customers with information on action needed. The Sara Combilizer may stay in use until the upgrade will be performed, on the condition that the tilt angle in the device ''stretcher mode" wi
