On 9th of november 2020 getinge became aware of an issue with one of the light ¿ lucea 40.As it was stated the plastic casing of the lucea 40 was broken.Photographic evidence was showing missing plastic particles.No information about any negative outcome was provided however we decided to report this case in abundance of caution as falling plastic particles may lead to contamination.It was established that when the event occurred, the surgical light did not meet its specification due to crack of cover leading to missing particles and it contributed to event.None of the provided information indicate that upon the event occurrence the device was being used for patient treatment.During the investigation it was found that in the past the reported scenario has never lead to serious injury nor death.According to the evaluation performed by the manufacturer¿s subject matter experts the probable causes of the breakage is the incompatibility of the cleaning products or abnormal use.Getinge recommends visual inspection before use according to the user technical manual.A daily inspection performed by the user (chipped paint, impact marks and any other damage) will help preventing such event.We believe that all remaining devices are performing correctly in the market.We also believe that if the preventive maintenance 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.
