Omega Medical Imaging is recalling 52 units of its Elevating Monitor Suspension (Part Number 1000-0085) because a mechanical part can fail and cause the monitor to detach. In one incident, an actuator separated from the pivot mechanism on a lower boom column, causing the monitor to fall until it was caught by a safety cable. This recall affects all units manufactured between October 22, 2012, and July 9, 2019, which were distributed across the United States and Pakistan. If you have this system installed, you should contact Omega Medical Imaging immediately for guidance on inspections or repairs.
The monitor boom's actuator can separate from the pivot mechanism, which may cause the heavy monitor assembly to fall or become unstable. While a safety cable is designed to restrain the falling monitor, a failure of this system during a medical procedure could result in injury to patients or healthcare staff.
