The lithotomy positioner stirrup is used in placing the patient in the lithotomy position in preparation for a procedure.The device's velcro strap, which secures the patient's foot and leg, is secured to the boot using a staple and adhesive.Ifu states you should always confirm the working order prior to using it clinically.In the event a device failure was to occur, or the device was thought to be unreliable, the device would not be used, and a backup device would likely be available for immediate use.Upon inspection, baxter technician ran a function test on the stirrup.The baxter technician thoroughly inspected the stirrup and was unable to duplicate the reported issue.The stirrup functioned as designed.However, if the reported event of a stirrup dropping were to recur, it would be likely to cause or contribute to death or serious injury, therefore baxter considers this event reportable.
