21 Sep 2018	Classified by FDA	+67 days
3 Oct 2018	Published in enforcement report	+12 days

Reason for recall

There is a potential for the Monitor Ceiling Suspension, which holds a large screen monitor, may detach from the actuator rotor shaft causing the monitor to fall from the ground. When a Monitor Ceiling Suspension detaches from the actuator rotor shaft and the monitor falls, there is a risk of injury for the patient, user and bystander.
