The STERIS 4085 General Surgical Table Product Usage: is an electro-hydraulically operated surgical table designed to support all general surgical procedures.
STERIS engineering analysis has determined the D1 pressure switch in the hydraulic column manifold does not adequately detect pressure level. If one or more of the table floor lock feet become unlocked due to the loss of hydraulic pressure, there is a potential for the table hand control to incorrectly indicate that the floor lock feet are locked.
