Reason
GE Healthcare has recently become aware of the potential for the Rotating IV Pole to fall due to excessive tap drill depth resulting in a thin wall section of the block bracket assembly which is the bracket that attaches the pole to the bed. A fall could result in an injury to a bystander holding the patient or to the operator. There have been no injuries as a result of this issue.
