Manufacturer Narrative

Getinge became aware of an issue with one of examination lights - lucea 40.It was stated the cover was cracked with missing particles.There was no injury reported, however we decided to report the issue in abundance of caution as any particles falling may lead to potential infection of the patient.According to the information provided by getinge technician, the affected part (ard368605998- handle interface with fork - lucea 40) was replaced.It was established that when the event occurred, the examination light did not meet its specification due to cracks and missing particles from covers, which contributed to the event.Provided information does not indicate if upon the event occurrence the device was or was not being used for patient treatment.Review of received customer product complaints related to investigated issue, revealed that there were no injuries to a user nor to a patient or operator when this particular malfunction occurred.We can assume that the failure ratio of cracks and missing particles on lucea 10/40 devices is moderate.Malfunction investigated herein was further analyzed by subject matter experts at maquet sas.As they stated, based on some internal test done by maquet sas (e.G.Ref: cre 12-085), only abnormal use (violent collisions, excessive pressure¿) or the use of incompatible cleaning products or protocol, can damage this device as reported in this complaint.The user manual explains how to check the light heads during daily inspection.To avoid any similar incident, the lucea product must be used according with the user manual information.We believe the related devices are performing correctly in the market.We also believe that if the manufacturer 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.
