Action | Stille sent Field Safety Notices dated 8/27/08 to the direct accounts, informing them that the table contains a battery backup, not mentioned in the User Manual, which automatically will provide power to the electrical actuators/motions in case of a power loss from the main power supply. However, if a short circuit occurs, it can result in an uncontrolled movement of the table which cannot be stopped by disconnecting the device from the main power supply, as the battery automatically will supply continuous power to the control box. The accounts were requested to complete and return the enclosed acknowledgement card to Stille by fax or e-mail as soon as possible and no later than 9/26/08. The accounts were advised to not further use the table in conjunction with a C-arm or any other heavy object until a service technician can permanently remove the battery from the control box according to the enclosed Service Manual Amendment No. 1. Stille will make a permanent correction to the table once it has been validated and approved. Contact Stille Surgical Inc. at 1-800-655-1614 for assistance. |
