Product description
The mounting systems were sold for use in hospital Intensive Care Units. The units are off-white and have multiple joints between the ceiling mount and the TV mount at the end of the arm system.
Reason for recall
The arm joints on the television mounting system do not have a washer at the top joint which can result in excessive wear of the stop pins on the arm. This can allow the arm system and items connected to the arm to fall and injure the user or bystanders.
Remedy, what to do
Secure the unit to prevent movement and contact TRUMPF Medical Systems for information on receiving a repair kit that includes the missing washers.
