Skytron FS32 Monitor Brackets risk structural failure and patient injury
The FS32 monitor mounting brackets may loosen and detach from their base, potentially injuring patients or staff. FDA recalls affected units.
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: FDA Class II recall for a medical device with potential for patient or staff injury from equipment detachment; however, no illnesses or injuries have been reported, making this a theoretical risk-of-harm scenario rather than a documented hazard.
Plain-English summary
Skytron is recalling FS32 monitor mounting brackets (Revision 2 and 3), single-bracket systems for 32-inch flat-screen monitors. Approximately 278 units were distributed in the United States and 7 units in Australia and Japan.
The mounting block fasteners may loosen over time, causing the bracket to separate from its base. If detachment occurs, the mounted display could fall, potentially injuring patients or staff in healthcare facilities.
Check your FS32 bracket's serial number against Skytron's complete recall list, which includes specific serial numbers for both Revision 2 and Revision 3. Affected serial numbers range from 1504-314-00-1-0002 through 2103-314-00-2-0170, though not all numbers in this range are recalled.
Contact Skytron immediately if you have an affected bracket to arrange a replacement or repair. Do not continue operating equipment with signs of looseness or damage.
