Getinge USA Sales Inc. has recalled 878 MEERA CL mobile operating tables because the infrared (IR) hand control may display error code "50037" and cause the table to stop moving unexpectedly. This defect affects eight different item numbers and was initiated by a voluntary firm letter in October 2024. If the operating table stops moving during a medical procedure, it can result in a procedural delay for the patient and surgical team. Consumers should contact Getinge or their healthcare provider to determine if their specific table is part of the affected serial number ranges.
The hand control can experience sporadic communication errors that stop the placement or positioning of a patient during surgery. This interruption can lead to critical procedural delays while medical staff troubleshoot the equipment or switch to manual controls.
