Reason
During internal cycle testing of A-Series lifts Prism Medical Ltd. Has found that the A-Series Lift strap for lifts manufactured between April 25, 2017 and June 12, 2017 may wear prematurely at max load (625 lbs). They have identified the root cause as a supplied component that was not to specification. If the strap wears during use there is a potential risk for the person being supported by the lift to drop.
