Manufacturer Narrative
|
The device was evaluated by the field service engineer and no issues were found with the functioning of the device.Based on the information received from the investigation, it was found that the t-pin was not completely engaged to secure and lock the h-frame which led to the falling of the table top during the surgery.We believe this was an user error as there are instructions in the owner's manual regarding locking the t-pin and warning(s) that state the following- "failure to install the t-pin properly through one side of the h-frame completely through the table top mounting tune and then through the opposite side of the h-frame with the drop lock visible and pivoting freely may result in harm to the patient, healthcare worker or the device" the details of the patient and their health status were not disclosed by the hospital personnel.
