Approximately 82 Dual Articulating Headrests manufactured by Steris Corporation are being recalled because they may not stay in place or fail to lock into position during medical procedures. This failure can lead to patient injury or significant delays during surgery. The affected units include two different models (Pad Ret and Velcro) manufactured between August 14, 2023, and October 26, 2023.
If the headrest fails to lock or shifts unexpectedly during a procedure, the patient's head and neck may move without warning, potentially causing physical injury or forcing the medical team to pause or delay the surgery to secure the equipment.
