Patient 1
REPAIR OF THE TABLE FOUND THE MECHLOK ON THE PELVIC SECTION HAD LOCKED-UP AND THE LIMIT SWITCH ASSOCIATED WITH THE PELVIC TILT WAS BROKEN. THIS COMPLAINT WAS REPORTED TWICE. THE FIRST COMPLAINT INVOLVED THE INCIDENT AND THE SECOND COMPLAINT STATED ONLY THAT THE PELVIC SECTION WAS LOCKED-UP. THE TABLE WAS RECEIVED BY OUR SERVICE DEPT ON THE SECOND COMPLAINT, REPAIRED AND RETURNED TO THE CUSTOMER. AFTER REPAIR FULL FUNCTIONAL TESTS WERE PERFORMED AND THE TABLE WAS INSPECTED BY A QUALITY ENGINEER BEFORE RETURNING THE TABLE TO THE CUSTOMER. A SIX MONTH REVIEW OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS TABLE WAS EVALUATED. TEN OF THE COMPLAINTS INVOLVED FAILURE OF THE MECHLOK. THE MECHLOK IS EXPECTED TO FAIL WITH EXCESSIVE USE AND THE FAILURE RATE, BASED ON THE # OF COMPLAINTS IS APPROXIMATELY 55 PER MILLION TREATMENTS. THIS UNIQUE INCIDENT, IS OF LOW SEVERITY WITH A POTENTIAL FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 INCIDENTS PER MILLION TREATMENTS. PER THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE THE OCCURRENCE COULD BE MITIGATED IF THE WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND DANGERS ARE FOLLOWED. THE TABLE SHOULD BE LOCKED BEFORE THE LOADING OR UNLOADING OF A PT AND THE CABLES AND CONNECTORS SHOULD BE INSPECTED PRIOR TO USE.
