On 22nd february 2024 getinge became aware of an issue with one of our table tops - 118010a0 - basis table top,individual configuration used with 118001c0 - magnus table column, mobile.As it was stated, the operating table suddenly could no longer be operated correctly during the procedure.The operating table moved in the opposite direction than indicated (desired movement: table up, tilting to the right; actual movement: table down, tilting to the left).According to customer allegation, the patient could have inadvertently injured important organs and structures (nerves/vessels) with the surgical instruments during laparoscopy or fallen from the operating table.During service visit on site, the 9704552 control unit for table top was replaced.There was no injury reported, however, we decided to report the issue based on the potential for serious injury if the situation, namely the unintended movement of the table top during the procedure, was to reoccur.
