Why it was recalled

The recall was initiated because Toshiba has confirmed that during patient transfer from a gurney to the catherization table, the tabletop may rotate unexpectedly when sufficient force is applied to the tabletop. The result of the tabletop rotating unexpectedly is the patient being tranferred may fall from the tabletop.
