Brainlab recalls Cirq Arm System models SBS 1.3.2 and SBS 1.4 due to reduced holding force from prolonged non-use. Affected units have specific serial numbers and article numbers.
Holding force of the Positioning Arm can be reduced by prolonged non-use.
Brainlab is recalling two versions of the Cirq Arm System (SBS 1.3.2 and SBS 1.4) because the holding force can weaken if the device isn't used for a long time. This could lead to the device not holding securely during use, which might cause it to move unexpectedly.
The holding force of the Positioning Arm can decrease over time if the device is not used regularly. This means the device might not hold securely during medical procedures, potentially causing it to move unexpectedly.
Users of the Cirq Arm System who own models SBS 1.3.2 (Art.No. 56000-01B) or SBS 1.4 (Art.No. 56000-01C) with the listed serial numbers are affected. Patients using these devices for medical procedures are most at risk.
Check for the model numbers SBS 1.3.2 (Art.No. 56000-01B) or SBS 1.4 (Art.No. 56000-01C) on the device. Affected units have specific serial numbers listed in the recall notice.
Look for the model number on the device to confirm if it's SBS 1.3.2 (Art.No. 56000-01B) or SBS 1.4 (Art.No. 56000-01C).
