Electrical wheelchair component recalled for unintended movement on power-up

mo-Vis is recalling the IDM-MULTI-R electrical wheelchair component due to a firmware timing issue that may cause unintended wheelchair movement when powered on. The defect could bypass the neutral check if the joystick is not centered.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class I classification establishes a minimum severity floor of 4. The hazard—unintended wheelchair movement caused by firmware timing defects—poses serious injury risk despite no reported incidents to date.

Plain-English summary

mo-Vis BVBA is recalling the IDM-MULTI-R electrical wheelchair component (Model No. PRSPS0016) distributed nationwide in Texas. Approximately 15 units are affected, with serial numbers ranging from 1000 to 1690.

The recalled devices contain firmware versions 2.3 and lower with a timing variation between software tasks. This issue can result in the wheelchair skipping its required neutral-position safety check, causing unintended movement when the device is powered on if the joystick is not in the neutral position.

Owners of affected wheelchairs should stop using the recalled units immediately. Users should contact mo-Vis BVBA to determine if their wheelchair is affected and to obtain a firmware update or replacement component.

The FDA has classified this as a Class I recall due to the serious safety risk. Consumers should check the serial number on their device (ranging from 1000 to 1690) and contact the manufacturer directly for assistance.
