Action Taken
TRUMPF sent an Urgent Safety Information letter dated October 28, 2013, to all affected customers. The letter identified the product the problem and the action needed to be taken by the customers. Customers were instructed to inspect Leg Section One Part Light for damage to the coupler point (hook) between each case. If any damage is noticed to the coupler, they were instructed to stop use immediately and contact TRUMPF Technical Service. If they drop or collide the Leg Section One Part Light into anything then stop use immediately and contact TRUMPF Technical Service. Review the User Instruction for proper use and care of the device. The leg section should be used only as intended as part of the TRUMPF TS7000 surgical table. The intended use is to support and position the patients legs during the pre-operative and post-operative stages of surgery. The leg section should be removed during surgery. TRUMPF will be exchanging the hooks, counter plates and screws of the coupler point to increase the area that the load is distributed over. This will allow the screws securing the hood to the leg frame to withstand external forces. TRUMPF anticipates parts to be available the first week of November. TRUMPF trained technicians will complete the TRUMPF Medical Systems, Inc. for the part exchange. Completion is anticipated by November 11, 2013. Further questions please call (843) 534-0606
