On 16th february 2024 getinge became aware of an issue with one of our columns - 118001b4 - hybrid or table column, surface-mounted.As it was stated, during preparation of the patient for evar procedure, a table rotation issue occurred and the communication was lost.There were no reports of an error message on the hand controller.The patient was on the table and had already been anesthetized.The issue led to a delay of at least 30 minutes.The case was able to continue after manual reset of the table.There was no injury reported, however, we decided to report the issue based on the potential for serious injury if the situation, namely the delay in surgery resulting in prolonged anesthesia time, was to reoccur.
