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 medical device has a structural defect (stress fracture in the backrest platform) that affects functionality and poses a potential risk to patient safety. Although no injuries have been reported, the structural failure of a medical examination table used in patient care qualifies as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
