Description

Overhead Counterpoise Systems (OCS), OCS, 580mm CEILING MOUNT, PORTEGRA2, Catalog # OCS CEIL 58, Material Number 84433765

Reason

The torque wrench used on the ceiling column assembly during a recent service visit was outside of the torque specification, potentially overtightening the bolts. The overtightening of bolts may compromise the structural integrity of the system which could lead to the OCS disengaging from the ceiling mount and this may cause injury to the patient or the operator.

Action

On June 28, 2018, Urgent Medical Device Field Safety Corrective Action letters were distributed to customers. The letters informed the customers of the following: A Bayer Service Representative will be scheduling a service visit to replace the ceiling column assembly of your OCS system(s) at no cost to you.

Distribution

The devices were distributed to the following US states: OH, TX, and WV.
