Why it was recalled

The fixation of the upper and lower tilt actuator, of the Omnidiagnost system might break off and the table will start to rotate from 0 to + 90 /- 90 degree with high speed. This rotating movement can not be stopped by the user. This could potentially lead to the patient falling off the table. There is a risk of injury for the patient, user, or bystander.

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