A steris service technician arrived onsite to inspect the 5085 surgical table and could not duplicate the reported event.The table was found to be operating properly; no repairs were required, and the table was returned to service.The technician spoke with user facility personnel who reported that the table was in trendelenburg fully slid to the head end at the time of the reported event.The reported event is attributed to user error as user facility personnel should have centered the tabletop prior to attempting to level the table as stated in the operator manual.The 5085 surgical table operator manual states (1-4), "warning - personal injury and/or equipment damage hazard (cont'd): with patient in normal or reverse orientation, table in trendelenburg and slide at head limit, center tabletop before attempting to raise table to level or move into reverse trendelenburg." the technician counseled user facility personnel on the proper operation of the 5085 surgical table, specifically ensuring the tabletop is centered before attempted to level the table.No additional issues have been reported.
