IVEA MODEL 500A

Reason

Rotational forces on the 16082 dowel pin during deploying or folding can cause the pin to slowly "screw" its way out of position. If the pin migrates enough to allow the brace to detach from the leg pivot fitting while a patient is ambulating with weight on the handles, the product could slump to one side. This may cause the patient to stumble.
