  • Reason
    Steris corporation has learned that cmax surigical tables may lose calibration if the table is operated only on battery power and if the table is in a low battery charge condition. this could result in the table moving into an unexpected tilt position when the "level" button is depressed on the hand control keypad. the likelihood of this event occurring is remote as the cmax surgical table opertor manual states to always connect the ac power cord to an appropriate ac receptacle as often and as long as possible with the main power switch set to on.
