Reason for recall

Dual-articulating head rest may not stay in place or may fail to lock into position during a patient procedure which could result in an injury to the patient or a procedural delay.

Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
