Reason for Recall

The potential exists within the identified tables that incorrectly manufactured parts have been used in assembly. If a table is found to have these incorrectly manufactured parts, it is possible for the tables elevation column slide cap to become detached from the elevation column and could result in the loss of control of the table top and injury to the patient or staff.
