The root cause was most likely the connector on the pendant, which was badly damaged.It is unknown if the table went thru a pre-inspection which would have seen the broken connector on the hand pendant.If hit the "emergency stop button" would have immediately halted all table movement.Owner's manual says in section 4.2 general inspection, before use, inspect the device for possible damage, excessive wear, or non-functioning parts.Visually inspect all accessible areas, electrical cords, and all movable parts for possible damage that may adversely affect the proper operation of the hana® orthopedic surgery table.Damaged or defective products should not be used or processed.
