A steris service technician arrived onsite to inspect the table and found surgical tape attached to the locking mechanism of the table's leg section.This prevented the leg section from properly locking with the table resulting in the reported event.The technician cleaned the locking mechanism, tested the leg section and surgical table, confirmed they were operating according to specification, and returned the table to service.The technician counseled user facility personnel on the proper operation of the table specifically to fully remove surgical tape from the table following procedures.A 3-year complaint review indicates this to be an isolated event.No additional issues have been reported.
