The mayfield spine table adaptor base unit (a2600m) was returned for evaluation: device history record (dhr): the dhr was reviewed and no anomalies that could be associated with the complaint incident was observed.Failure analysis: the investigation of the returned device showed that the shock cushion was replaced due to it moving out of position and impeding the 6-inch transitional.Unit received with an older transitional than the one that was issued with the repair.The 6in transitional will not be replaced since the hospital already has a new one on hand.General maintenance and cleaning has been performed.Root cause: complaint confirmed via inspection of the unit.The shock cushion had moved out of position in the handle and was impeding the 6-inch transitional, the shock cushion was replaced.No further investigation required based on the acceptability of risk and no adverse trends identified.This will be monitored and trended going forward.
