Skytron recalls GS70 Salus Surgical Tables with specific serial numbers 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 certain GS70 Salus Surgical Tables because the table may continue moving even after releasing the control button. 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 doesn't know when the button is released. This can cause the table to continue moving even after the user stops pressing the button, which may lead to unintended movement during surgery.
