Steris recalls OT1000 series surgical tables due to risk of leg spar separation during procedures. Affected models OT1000, OT1100, OT1200 sold since 2019. No remedy specified in recall notice.
On January 7, 2021, STERIS identified that the glued bond between the beam and the leg spar assembly may begin to separate over time. This could result in unexpected movement of the affected leg spar if the separation occurred during a patient procedure.
Steris is recalling its OT1000, OT1100, and OT1200 surgical tables because the glue holding the leg spar to the beam might weaken over time. This could cause the leg to move unexpectedly during surgery, potentially harming patients.
The glue connecting the leg spar to the beam may weaken over time. If it separates during surgery, the leg spar could move unexpectedly, causing injury to the patient.
Surgical teams using Steris OT1000, OT1100, or OT1200 tables for procedures. Patients undergoing surgery on these tables face the highest risk of injury from unexpected leg movement.
Check for Steris OT1000, OT1100, or OT1200 surgical tables. These models were sold starting in 2019. The recall was identified on January 7, 2021.
