Why the product was recalled
Certain VOLISTA StandOP Surgical Lights have been identified as having a potential light head detachment issue. Improper assembly of the bracket that connects the light head to the axle fork could result in the light head bracket breaking, causing the light head to detach from the arm and become suspended only from the cabling inside the arm. Use of an affected device may result in serious injury to patient and/or medical staff if the light head detaches and drops, impacting patient and/or medical staff during demonstration, service, or use.
