Skytron recalls GS70H Salus Surgical Tables with serial numbers starting SUC-20207-0002 to SUC-20233-0025 due to potential continued movement after button release in Bluetooth or wired mode.
When the control of the operating table was used in Bluetooth mode, the operating table continued moving even after releasing the button on the control. Originally, the root cause was thought to be confined to Bluetooth/wireless communications between the control pendant and the surgical table. However, during investigation, Mizuho discovered that the failure could be replicated even in wired mode if communication between the pendant and table were somehow interrupted. The root cause appears to be: if communication between the controller and table is interrupted while a button is pressed, the table does not know if/when a button is released. This occurs in wireless or wired mode.
Skytron is recalling GS70H Salus Surgical Tables with specific serial numbers because the table may continue moving after releasing a button in Bluetooth or wired mode. This could cause unintended movement during surgery, potentially leading to injury.
If communication between the control pendant and surgical table is interrupted while a button is pressed, the table may not detect when the button is released. This can cause the table to continue moving even after the user stops pressing the button, whether in Bluetooth or wired mode.
Surgical teams using the GS70H Salus Surgical Tables with serial numbers listed in the recall are most at risk. Patients and staff could be injured if the table moves unexpectedly during procedures.
Check for serial numbers starting with SUC-20207-0002 through SUC-20233-0025 on the GS70H Salus Surgical Table. The product code is 18-071-70.
Ensure the table stops moving immediately when the button is released in both Bluetooth and wired modes.
The table may continue moving after releasing a button in Bluetooth or wired mode if communication between the control pendant and table is interrupted while a button is pressed.
