Although no injuries have been reported, the potential for patient harm from unexpected seat movement makes this a risk-of-harm product warranting a High severity score.
Plain-English summary
The UFSK Treatment chair 500 XLE is a medical device used to position and support patients during ophthalmology and other diagnostic or therapeutic treatments. The electrical seat drive in these chairs may experience shortened service life due to wear-related reduction in the self-locking mechanism, which may not be immediately apparent.
Over time, wear in the seat drive's self-locking function can worsen, causing the drive to override its end position when the chair's seat is inclined. This means the seat may not remain securely in place when the patient is positioned at an angle, creating a risk that the seat could move unexpectedly.
The recall affects 239 chairs with serial numbers 2000-2999 (Art.no. 15000004) and 3000-4506 (Art.no. 15000006), distributed nationwide. Affected healthcare facilities should contact the manufacturer, UFSK - International OSYS Gmbh, regarding appropriate remedial actions.
