Recalling firm: Ferno-Washington Inc
Product: PROFlex Transporter, Model numbers 35PST. The catalog number for the model 35PST is PT3565.
Product code: FPO Stretcher, Wheeled
Reason for recall: The firm received complaints of the stretchers folding. A fold is when the stretcher lowers on its own to either the next position, or any of the other seven postions of the stretcher.
FDA root cause: Other
Action: The firm went out to customers who had complained of a 'fold' and installed the kit on the stretcher that had experienced the fold and on all other PROflexx stretchers owned by the customer. These customers had received a recall letter, dated March 28, 2003. For customers that had not complained of the stretchers 'folding', the firm sent a letter dated June 24, 2003, to all distributors requesting the distributor provide the firm with a list of customers that had received the PROflex stretchers. Once the firm had a list of all customers, they sent them a letter offering them the kit as an enhancement that they could purchase to help reduce the possibility of false locking.
Quantity in commerce: 2188 total stretchers
Distribution: The product was distributed nationwide to 27 states: TN, MA, VT, IL, KY, NY, SC, WI, TX, MO, NH, CO, GA, NC, CA, VA, IA, PA, CT, OH, NJ, ID, WV, AL, AR, ME and IN.
Product codes and lots: All stretchers containing a serial number beginning with the letter ''L'' and followed by a sequence of six numbers.

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.
