Why it was recalled
The angle adjustment mechanism for James Leckey Design Mygo Standers manufactured during this period allows the user to lock out the frame’s safety pull pin and adjust the angle using one hand. If the operator’s hand slips off the turning handle when a patient is in the frame, the handle could ‘self-wind’ and spin rapidly as the stander returns to the upright position.
Hazard
If this occurs, while there is no risk to the patient in the frame, there is a small risk that the fast spinning handle could injure the operator if they try to take hold of it.
