Manufacturer Narrative
|
It was reported that the mavig portegra spring arm (with radiation protection shield) which was connected to the trulight system detached and fell down hitting a nurse on the shoulder/arm.Ultrasound examination as well as x-ray scan of the right shoulder and right wrist joint were provided to the nurse with no findings of a serious injury.A bruising of the shoulder was confirmed.Following a shoulder joint orthosis was placed.Follow up with the customer notes that "the nurse is doing well so far" and is on sick leave for one week.Based on the report that the nurse is reportedly "doing well" it is reasonable to conclude that the event did not result in serious injury nor a permanent impairment of a body function or permanent damage to a body structure occurred.The trulight surgical light and mavig portegra spring arm with radiation protection shield was inspected by a field service technician.A further investigation of the inspection results identified the spring arm was was not installed correctly at the central axis.A necessary washer was missing which allowed the spring arm to detach from the central axis of the light system.In november 2021 the new trulight light system was installed at the customer location by trumpf medical.As a new mavig portegra spring arm was not immediately available, the customer requested to install as an interim solution the old mavig portegra spring arm form the old light system which was installed previously at this location.The root cause is considered as an installation failure of the old mavig portegra spring arm at the new trulight light system.Remedial action: after the event a new mavig portegra spring arm with radiation protection shield was installed at the trulight surgical light.The service organization was informed about the event to ensure a correct installation according to the installation manual.Based on the above findings no further action is required.
