Manufacturer Narrative

It was established that when the event occurred, the surgical light failed to meet its specification, due to malfunction of bulb holder and it contributed to the event.The device was being used for patient treatment at the time when the event occurred.During the investigation, it was found that the reported scenario has never led, to date, to serious injury or worse.The manufacturing site performed an investigation.Subject matter expert decided that this issue is due to lack of maintenance.The light switched off due to a bulb wear.To prevent this type of incident the x-ten user manual mentions to check the bulb daily, and to replace the bulb every year or every 600 to 800 hours.We believe that currently and overall, the related devices are performing correctly in the market with regards to the reported issue.
