The user facility stated their 3080sp surgical table's floor locks were not properly locking and the table was not moving as commanded during a patient procedure.User facility personnel were able to utilize the override switch controls on the table to move the patient to the desired position, and the procedure was completed successfully.A steris service technician arrived on-site, inspected the unit, and identified the set screw on the table's floor lock required adjustment.The technician found that because the set screw was not properly aligned, the table would not lock to the floor.This also caused the floor-lock microswitch to signal to the control board of the table that the table was not properly locked, which prevented the use of the hand control.The technician adjusted the set screw on the floor lock, tested the table, and confirmed it to be operating according to specification.The table has been in use at the facility for 22 years.The technician notified the user facility that the table must be properly locked for the table hand controls to be used.No additional issues have been reported.
