At the end of a case, while the patient was still in the room, the spring guide rod on an lfs monitor bracket sheared off and flew ~15-20 feet and stuck into the far wall near the ceiling.The spring also ejected and flew into the room.There was a patient on the table at the time, and three or staff sitting next to the table.The projectile flew just a couple feet directly over all of their heads and the patient's feet.The per the or staff, the monitor was recently set in the vertical position.It had been sitting for a few minutes with nobody touching it when it suddenly broke.They told us that they thought the monitor tipped up, then fell back down.
