Why it was recalled

STERIS has learned from Customer feedback and field service experience that damage from external impact to the table hydraulic column can cause the stainless steel shroud sections covering the table hydraulic column to become misaligned; if the damage is severe, the up/down movement of the table may be impeded. In addition, the table hand control may indicate that the table floor locks are unlock
