Getinge became aware of an issue with one of devices- lucea 100.As it was stated, the cover of the light head is cracked and it resulted in missing plastic particles.There was no injury reported however we decided to report the issue in abundance of caution as any particles falling off into sterile field or during procedure may be a source of contamination.It was established that when the event occurred, the surgical light did not meet its specification and it contributed to the issue.The device was not being used for patient treatment.Based on the performed trend review we conclude that there is no apparent trend for the issue with this device and that this is the second complaint of this nature received in last 5 years.In user manual 01741en05, there is an information included to check the device for impact marks and any other damage.It was established that most likely root cause is related to wrong maintenance of the device, however due to limited information received from ssu, subject matter experts were unable fully confirm this root cause.We believe that currently and overall, the related devices are performing correctly in the market with regards to the reported issue.
