Official wording

Reason: A component of the device was recalled by a supplier. In rare cases of inadequate maintenance or very high clinical workload, the first steel wire rope of the lifting column, which is designed to take the load, can break without triggering the safety lock. This can lead to overloading of the safety cable, which is not designed to permanently carry the load of the lifting column or continuously move under load. This could cause material fatigue and cause the arm to drop unexpectedly during patient positioning. If the arm drops unexpectedly, patients and users may be seriously injured.

Code information: Serial Numbers: S403088, S403089, S403165

Distribution pattern: Worldwide distribution: US distribution to states of: IL and MA and countries of: Czech Republic, Germany, Poland and Peru.
