U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) — enforcement report

Recall number

Bayer Medical Care, Inc.

Sold / distributed

The devices were distributed to the following US states: OH, TX, and WV.

Why it was recalled

The torque wrench used on the ceiling column assembly during a recent service visit was outside of the torque specification, potentially overtightening the bolts. The overtightening of bolts may compromise the structural integrity of the system which could lead to the OCS disengaging from the ceiling mount and this may cause injury to the patient or the operator.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
