Getinge became aware of an issue with angenieux surgical light.As it was stated, the rust occurred on the fork.There was no injury reported, however, we decided to report the issue in abundance of caution as any rust particles falling off into sterile field or during procedure may cause contamination.During the investigation it was found that in the past the reported scenario has never lead to serious injury or worse, to death.All maquet sas products comply with: iec 60601-1 ed.2.0 & ed.3.0 general requirements for basic safety and essential performance.Iec 60601-2-41 particular requirements for the safety of surgical luminaires and luminaire for diagnosis.Paint definition pfc066.This procedure defines maquet sas¿s requirements for all painted parts.Disinfection products test: the aim of these tests is to detect any incompatibility with disinfectant.This event is clearly due to the cleaning product.Such troubles should have been detected first by the user during daily and monthly checks.The damaged parts must be replaced as soon as possible.It was established that when the event occurred, the surgical light did not meet its specification as appearance of rust is considered as technical deficiency.The device contributed to the event.None of the provided information indicate that upon the event occurrence the device was being used for patient treatment.We believe that all remaining devices are performing correctly in the market.We also believe that if the manufacturer recommendation would have been followed the incident could have been avoided.Given the circumstances we shall continue to monitor for any further events of this nature and do not propose any further action at this time.
