The MEERA CL surgical operating table may fail to respond when error code 50037 occurs on its IR-Hand Control, causing the table to stop moving during procedures and resulting in procedural delays.
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: This is a Class II FDA recall affecting a risk-of-harm product (surgical operating table) where no injuries or illnesses have been reported to date. The equipment malfunction could disrupt surgical procedures, but the documented consequence is procedural delay rather than documented patient harm.
