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.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Devices): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
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.
