Reason
Villa Sistemi Medicali became aware that a patient fell from the table because the footrest of the device detached from the table top while the patient was positioned on the table and the table was moving from vertical position.
The analysis showed that the footrest of the device detached from the table top because the safety screws were discarded at installation. The purpose of these screws is to prevent the footrest to completely detach from the table in order to avoid the patient to fall.
