Action
Arjo Inc. USA sent recall letters to the direct accounts on 10/30/06, informing them that affected rope kits were incorrectly assembled, and could lead to the rope separating from the cone-shaped knob and causing the patient to fall back from the lift. The letters listed the specific quantities, order numbers and dates for the kits shipped to the customer, and requested the removal from use and return of the affected rope kits. Replacement rope kits were sent with the recall letters. Any questions were directed to Arjo''s Quality Department at 1-800-323-1245, ext. 6140.
