  Baxter PST 500 U, Precision Surgical Table, Part number (product code) 4080300

  Baxter Healthcare Corporation is issuing an Urgent Medical Device Correction for the PST 500 U Precision Surgical Table due to a potential issue with loose spring pins in the spindle drives. This can cause the tabletop to unexpectedly tilt or move at any time, even without active use of the surgical table. This could potentially result in unintentional patient movement during surgical procedures and/or preparation for surgical procedures, including transport.

  GS70 Salus Surgical Table, Product Code 18-070-70

  When the control of the operating table was used in Bluetooth mode, the operating table continued moving even after releasing the button on the control. Originally, the root cause was thought to be confined to Bluetooth/wireless communications between the control pendant and the surgical table. However, during investigation, Mizuho discovered that the failure could be replicated even in wired mode if communication between the pendant and table were somehow interrupted. The root cause appears to be: if communication between the controller and table is interrupted while a button is pressed, the table does not know if/when a button is released. This occurs in wireless or wired mode.
