Schaerer Medical USA Inc is recalling replacement floor locking cylinders for model 7300 surgical tables because they may leak due to an incorrect O-ring.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any hospitalizations, injuries, or illnesses. The hazard is a mechanical leak, which fits the criteria for a moderate severity recall involving a potential defect without reported harm.

Schaerer Medical USA Inc is recalling 10 replacement floor locking cylinders, part number 85118, for the Schaerer model 7300 surgical tables. These cylinders are used to lock the surgical table in place and are contained in the base of the table.

The recall was initiated because the cylinders were manufactured with an incorrect "O" ring, which may cause the cylinder to leak. The affected units have a lot code of 2016-02-01.

The replacement cylinders were distributed worldwide and nationwide in the United States, specifically in the states of California, Connecticut, Florida, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
