- Baxter TruSystem surgical tables recalled for unexpected drop risk
Baxter is recalling five surgical table and operating table column models: TruSystem 7500, TruSystem 7000 U, TS7500 MOBIUS, and TruSystem 7500 Hybrid Plus. The main lift may unexpectedly drop to its lowest position during use, and the tabletop could not be raised again after a drop. This has been linked to unexpected wear of the main lift assembly, also called the telescopic spindle. An uncontrolled drop may cause abrupt patient displacement, which could lead to traumatic injury, airway compromise, or surgical complications. Baxter has received three complaints and no patient injuries have been reported.
