Reason

The Q-link 13 could allow for an improper attachment (false latching) of the Quick-Release Hook used on Sling Bars and other accessories. This could result in a critical injury from a patient fall as the false latched component may initially bear weight but can loosen from the Q-link resulting in a detachment and drop.
