Action: On 9/12/08, Rifton Equipment began notifying the customers by phone using a phone script. This phone call notified the customers of the recall and also served as an effectiveness check that they were notified. The customers were instructed to remove the product from use until the replacement kit is received and the old strap is returned. The replacement kit contains instructions with ID codes and a place for the customer to verify that they have made the replacement as instructed. It also contains the required number of new hip straps. A verification check was sent with the replacement straps, which the customer will sign and return to the firm verifying that they have replaced the straps for the affected serial numbers. Rifton Equipment is providing the customer with return shipping labels which were sent by UPS 2nd day air. The replacement straps use black thread instead of tan thread for the sewing on the ends of the straps so that the firm can be sure that the returned straps are not the new replacement straps. For questions or additional information, contact Rifton Equipment at 1-800-571-8198.
Quantity in commerce: Potentially 147 units may be affected.

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.
