Reason

Manufacturer has become aware of unintended movement occurring during surgical cases due to the use of damaged remotes. No patients or users have been injured. There is a possibility that damage can occur to a remote control, which breaks the button, and can cause permanent or sporadic electrical conduction and trigger unintended movement. This is a rare event and can be avoided by proper handling and maintenance of the remote control. The product is safe as long as it is not damaged.
