Carl Zeiss Suzhou Co., Ltd. has recalled 8 units of the OPMI LUMERA 300 surgical microscope, model REF 6137, because a screw may be missing from the suspension arm. This defect can cause the heavy microscope components to detach and fall during medical procedures. These devices were distributed across Maryland, Texas, California, Georgia, and Louisiana. If you are a healthcare facility using this equipment, you should immediately contact the manufacturer to verify the safety of your unit.
A missing screw in the suspension arm allows the surgical microscope's suspended components to become unstable and potentially fall on patients or medical staff. This poses a significant risk of impact injuries to anyone positioned beneath the device during an ophthalmic surgery.
