Using a trios surgical table the customer was using the extendable traction unit to apply 15-lbs of weight to the patient's head.A hospital staff member accidentally pressed the release button for the traction assembly causing it to retract and dropping the weights about 4-in.I am told that if a doctor wasn't holding the patient's head it could have been a serious issue.From what i was told there was no injuries caused to the patient.
