BfArM publishes Liko AB urgent field safety notice for Likorall Overhead Lift

🇩🇪 BfArM field safety notices · Wed 04 Nov 2026

Germany's federal medical device authority has listed a manufacturer safety notice for a patient-lifting device, but the hazard and affected units are detailed only in an attached document.

The German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) published an Urgent Field Safety Notice from Liko AB on 4 November 2026. It concerns the Likorall Overhead Lift and is listed under reference 47476/26.

BfArM classes the product in the group 'General equipment for medical treatment - ward equipment and equipment for emergency medical services'. The listing is a short entry that points readers to the manufacturer's Advisory Notice, available as a 690KB PDF, for further information and device details.

The BfArM listing does not state the nature of the hazard, the affected models or serial numbers, or the corrective actions requested. Those details sit only in Liko AB's Advisory Notice, so they cannot be confirmed from the public listing alone.

As general context, a field safety notice is the communication a manufacturer sends to users when it takes a field safety corrective action on a marketed medical device. Competent authorities such as BfArM publish these notices for transparency.

What it means for your team

  • Facilities and users of Likorall Overhead Lifts should obtain and read the Liko AB Advisory Notice attached to BfArM reference 47476/26.
  • Quality and vigilance teams should check whether affected units are in use at their sites and what action the manufacturer requires.
  • The BfArM listing gives no hazard, model or lot information, so no scope or risk assessment should be made from it alone.
