A steris service technician arrived onsite to inspect the table and found damage to the base of the table and shroud covers.The technician also found evidence of fluid intrusion within the power supply and that the rtv sealant required replacement.The 4085 surgical table is not under steris service agreement for maintenance activities.The user facility is responsible for all maintenance activities.The 4085 surgical table is designed to meet ipx4 fluid resistance standards, and the normal fit of the table covers, along with the rtv sealant that is applied, will prevent fluid intrusion.In the event the amount of fluid present during the procedure exceeds the ipx4 standard, it is the user facility's responsibility to ensure the table is properly draped and/ or a fluid catchment device is utilized to limit the amount of fluid that may come in contact with the 4085 surgical table.The 4085 surgical table operator manual states (5-3), "some procedures performed on table mattresses or pads may involve excessive fluid exposure.Be sure to drape accordingly." the operator manual further states, (5-10), "sealing table covers: whenever the table column cover assembly and/or table base cover are removed and then returned, the covers need sealed to prevent fluid intrusion to meet ipx4 requirements." the table has been removed from service as it is pending repairs.Steris offered in-service training on the proper use and operation of the 4085 surgical table, specifically on proper draping and/or fluid management practices, as well as the importance of not storing items on the base of the table, and the importance of following proper preventive maintenance activities.Steris is currently awaiting a response from the user facility.A follow-up mdr will be submitted when additional information becomes available.
