The accessory adaptor (600525a0) is designed for the mounting of maquet accessories with the dovetail guide interface immediately before, during and after surgical interventions as well as for examination and treatment. the accessory adapter is used with the magnus table back plates to attach the horseshoe head rest or the skull clamp. maquet has been notified of a case where a head rest was levered out of the dovetail profile of the accessory adaptor. it was identified that the raw material of the accessory adaptor did not meet maquet specifications. while the accessory adapter does carry the specified weight of 11kg at a distance of 300mm, the tensile and flexural strength of the material was less than specification.There is a very rare possibility should the attached accessory release from the adapter without warning during a surgical procedure that the patient may sustain a cervical spine injury. to date no incident has been reported in which a person was injured.

MAQUET will be contacting customers to provide a new replacement Accessory Adaptor (600525A0). Until the replacement has been provided, MAQUET is advising users that Accessory Adaptor (600525A0) should not be used.
