Plain-English summary
Bayer Medical Care, Inc. is recalling two units of Overhead Counterpoise Systems (OCS), Catalog # OCS 115A, Material Number 59880253. The devices were distributed to facilities in Ohio, Texas, and West Virginia.
The recall was initiated because a torque wrench used during a recent service visit was outside of the torque specification, potentially overtightening the bolts on the ceiling column assembly. This overtightening may compromise the structural integrity of the system, which could lead to the OCS disengaging from the ceiling mount and causing injury to the patient or the operator.
Affected units have serial numbers 11051103902 and 305746202. Users should contact Bayer Medical Care, Inc. for instructions on how to proceed with the recall.
