Getinge is recalling 52 MEERA CL mobile operating tables because an error code may cause the table to stop moving, potentially delaying surgical procedures.
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 2/5 (Moderate).
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 explicitly states the issue results in procedural delay without reporting injuries, hospitalizations, or structural failures, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity precautionary recall.
Plain-English summary
Getinge USA Sales Inc is recalling 52 units of the MEERA CL mobile operating table (Item Number: 720001F2). The recall affects serial numbers 579 through 639. These devices are designed for the placement and positioning of patients before, during, and after surgical interventions, as well as for examination and treatment.
The recall is due to a sporadic error code "50037" that occurs on the IR-Hand Control when the table is operated. This error causes the table to stop moving, which may result in procedural delays during medical interventions.
The affected units were distributed worldwide, including in the United States and numerous international locations such as Australia, Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Healthcare facilities should contact Getinge for further instructions regarding the recall and potential corrective actions.
