Getinge became aware of an issue with surgical lights - lucea 40.It was stated the covers of the headlights cracked and some particles were missing.There was no injury reported, however, we decided to report the issue in abundance of caution as any detachment of part or particles may lead to potential infection of the patient.Based on the information collected, it was established that when the event occurred, surgical lights did not meet their specification, since cracks in covers, resulting in missing plastic particles or detachment of covers could be considered as a technical deficiency, and in this way devices contributed to the event.Devices were being used for patient diagnosis when the event occurred.When reviewing reportable events for this type of issue we were able to establish that the received incidents are occurring at a moderate ratio for the broken covers.We have been able to confirm that the investigated issue has never led to serious injury or worse, to our knowledge.As per expertise performed by the subject matter expert at manufacturing site the cracks detected on the handle interface and transparent cover fixing points were probably caused by improper use, collisions, incompatible cleaning products or protocol.To prevent any incident the user manual for lucea 10/40 (ifu 01701 en 12) on page 22 mentions to check the integrity of the light heads during daily inspection.Furthermore, the same user manual on pages 29-30 explains how to clean and disinfect the lightheads.This document includes some recommended products and some prohibited products.In order to avoid torques applied on the transparent housing during use the user manual for lucea 10/40 (ifu 01701 en 12) on page 25 mentions to handle the light head by the handle.We believe the related devices are performing correctly in the market.We also believe that if the manufacturer¿s recommendation had been followed the incident could have been avoided.Getinge shall continue to monitor for any further events of this nature and do not propose any further action at this time.
