Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Getinge became aware of an issue with one of our mobile tables - 720001b2 - meera eu with auto drive used with 720090a0 cable connected hand control.As it was stated, the table was stuck with a patient in the trendelenburg position and could not be moved out of this position via corded hand control, as well as the override panel.According to the information, only movement from left to right was possible.There was no injury reported, however, we decided to report the issue based on the potential for serious injury if the situation, namely the operating table not responding to the remote control or the override panel, leading to inability to position the patient as required, was to reoccur.Initially, the table was controlled by the cable remote controller, but when that stopped working, the column override panel was tried.The table only moved from left to right.After the technician evaluation, it was confirmed that the fault came from the override panel, and the buttons were unresponsive.According to the available information, the override foil and hand control socket were damaged.Therefore, the foil keypad of the override panel ((b)(6)) and the spare part group socket with cable ((b)(6)) were replaced.Based on the information provided by the getinge technician, the issue related with the override foil and socket was caused by misuse.With the investigation performed it was concluded that upon the event occurrence, the device was being used for the patient¿s treatment, and thus was also directly involved with the reported incident.As the malfunction occurred during the surgery, it was considered that the getinge device failed to meet its specifications.A review of the received customer product complaints revealed that there were no injuries to a user nor to a patient or operator when this particular incident occurred.The instructions for use for meera mobile operating table states that visual and functional inspections of the table should have been performed by a trained person prior to each use.The user should make sure that the control panel on the control device is not damaged (ifu 7200.01 en 14, page 116).Additionally, the property damages can be caused by the collision when moving/adjusting the mobile table.The user should remove potential hindrances before moving/adjusting the mobile operating table and avoid collisions (ifu 7200.01 en 14, page 27).In summary, as a result of the performed root cause evaluation, it can be concluded that the root cause of the reported issue, namely the operating table not responding to the remote control or the override panel, leading to inability to position the patient as required, is related to user error.We currently do not have any information that would warrant further action regarding device manufacturing or devices on the market, however as per our complaint handling processes will continue to monitor the customer experiences with the device for any future information.The correction of b5 describe event or problem field deems required.This is based on the additional information that has been received.Previous b5 describe event or problem: getinge became aware of an issue with one of our mobile tables - 720001b2 - meera eu with auto drive.As it was stated, the table was stuck with a patient in the trendelenburg position and could not be moved out of this position via corded hand control as well as the override panel.According to the provided information, only movement from left to right was possible.There was no injury reported, however, we decided to report the issue based on the potential for serious injury if the situation, namely the operating table not responding to remote control or the override panel leading to inability to position the patient as required, was to reoccur.The initial fault was from the override panel.The buttons were unresponsive.Therefore, the foil keypad of the override panel and the spare part group socket with cable were replaced.Corrected b5 describe event or problem: getinge became aware of an issue with one of our mobile tables - 720001b2 - meera eu with auto drive used with 720090a0 cable connected hand control.As it was stated, the table was stuck with a patient in the trendelenburg position and could not be moved out of this position via corded hand control, as well as the override panel.According to the information, only movement from left to right was possible.There was no injury reported, however, we decided to report the issue based on the potential for serious injury if the situation, namely the operating table not responding to the remote control or the override panel, leading to inability to position the patient as required, was to reoccur.
