Reason

C-Series Carry Bar have separated from the lift strap due to the metal strap pin breaking the black plastic puck and pulling through the top plate. This breaking has been linked to users not performing pre-use, monthly & bi-annual inspections of their lifting equipment as specified in all prism medical user manuals.  The black plastic puck does not support the weight of the client, but instead acts as a swivel and washer that is sandwiched between the metal carry bar top plate and metal strap pin. They are not aware of any defects that will/may cause the black plastic puck to break unexpectedly.
