Corrected data: the manufacturing date is updated to 7 jun 2007.This system is a refurbished system.The original manufacture date of the system was in 2007.Addtl narrative: philips has investigated this complaint and found that while recovering from anesthesia, a patient (male 340 lbs.) shifted the upper body, causing the table to pivot.The patient fell to the floor, resulting in a bruise to the upper left eye area of the face.A head ct was performed and additional wound care was provided.No further medical treatment was required.On inspection, the philips engineer found that the ad5 table friction threshold was too low, requiring less force to pivot the table.The pivot friction was brought up to specification, and as a precaution the pivot brake assy and friction pin were replaced.The system was returned to use in good working order.
