Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling 400 units of the PST 500 U Precision Surgical Table due to a mechanical defect involving loose spring pins in the spindle drives. This defect can cause the tabletop to tilt or shift unexpectedly during use or while being moved, even if the controls are not being touched. This recall affects tables with specific serial numbers distributed across the United States and Canada. Baxter is issuing an Urgent Medical Device Correction to address this safety issue.
The loose spring pins can cause the surgical table to move or tilt without warning, potentially leading to unintentional patient movement during surgery, preparation, or transport. This poses a significant risk of physical injury to patients undergoing procedures or being moved on the table.
