Action: The Standing Company sent an Urgent Medical Device Field Correction/Part Recall dated February 6, 2014, to all affected customers. The Urgent Recall notification identified the Flexshaft holding the control joystick on all Power Standing Wheelchairs were being replaced after investigation of complaints found the flexshaft could break because the inner spring of the shaft had failed, although the outer core remained intact. The notice explained how the failure would appear and that the break could happen without warning. The notice explained that the break would not cause the flexshaft to fall off the chair, or hit the ground and the chair could still be mobilized by having the user lean over and pick up the joystick. The notice warned customers not to over bend the flexshaft until replacement was performed. Consignees were asked to call 1-800-STANDING ( 1 800-782-6346) immediately if their wheelchair needed immediate flexshaft replacement. The notice stated that consignees would be contacted to set up a time and date to replace their current flexshaft, at no charge. Consignees were asked to complete and return the response form with customer contact information to Standing Wheelchair Company 5848 Dixie Hwy, Saginaw, MI 48601; Fax (989) 746-9185 or E-mail [email protected].

About this record

Sourced from the FDA device recall database and the FDA enforcement reports, both ingested from openFDA. The recall record supplies the product, the reason and the product code; the enforcement report supplies the classification. The two datasets are exported by FDA on different days, and the date above is the older of the two, so nothing on this page is newer than it says.

MDM adds the root cause tag, derived from FDA’s own root cause text, and the cross-links to the product code, the clearances named on the record and MDM coverage. Where a recall has not been joined to an enforcement report, no classification is shown.
