Reason for Recall

There is potential for a cart with disinfected goods to unload without the trolley being docked. Disinfected goods could end up falling to the floor causing risk to nearby users and damage to goods and equipment.

Firm Action

A letter (Urgent Medical Device Recall Notice) was issued March 2, 2018 via 2 Day Fedex with customer signature required to allow for tracking of delivery. The letter includes a customer response form requesting feedback including if device is still in use at the facility. The letter instructs the customer to contact Getinge Service to schedule a visit and service by a trained Getinge technician at no charge to the customer. In addition Getinge Service will proactively contact affected customers and perform the correction when affected installed devices are identified. Recalled product will be corrected by a trained Getinge Service Representative. The correction will involve a software update to remove any risk to operators. Additionally a preventive hardware update that provides a longer wearing end stop pin will be performed during the field correction. For further questions please call (585) 214-6049.
