Steris 5085 Surgical Tables Recalled for Damaged Column Shrouds

Steris is recalling 5085 and 5085SRT surgical tables because column shrouds may become damaged, potentially preventing the table from raising or lowering.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (surgical table) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria for functional defects in medical devices.

Plain-English summary

Steris Corporation is recalling 999 units of the 5085 and 5085SRT general surgical tables. These stainless steel tables are designed for high patient weight capacity, extended width capability, and lower minimal table top elevation. The recall covers units distributed across numerous US states and several foreign countries, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Ecuador, India, Korea, Mexico, Panama, and Thailand.

The recall is due to a defect where the stainless steel column shrouds may become damaged. This damage can result from misalignment during extreme table articulation, excessive side force on the table column, or pressure on the base of the table. If the shrouds become severely damaged, the user may be unable to raise or lower the surgical table.

Healthcare facilities and users of these surgical tables should stop using the affected units and contact Steris Corporation for further instructions on the recall process.
