Hazard report. Loose mounting screws on Cardinal Health Avea ventilator cart may cause cart to tip or collapse.
If the four mounting screws that connect the support column to the base of certain older Avea ventilator carts loosen, the cart may tip over as a result. The supplier's technical bulletin about this problem was not received by all users. Facilities with affected units should inspect the carts to verify that a thread-locking compound has been applied to the mounting screws, as recommended by the supplier.
