On 22nd february 2024 getinge became aware of an issues with one of our table tops 118016a2 - magnus carb.-fibre table top, long bolus and one of our columns - 118001b4 - hybrid or table column, surface-mounted.As it was stated, the table was locking and no movement or rotation was possible.The staff tried multiple hand controls without success.The anesthetized patient had to be hoisted off table and transferred.The issue resulted in a delay of the surgery.There was no injury reported, however, we decided to report the issue based on the potential for serious injury if the situation, namely the inability to position the patient as required and a delay resulting in prolonged anesthesia time, was to reoccur.
