Manufacturer Narrative
|
The inspection of the iled lights was performed by a hillrom technician using an mt-912 light meter to measure light intensity and temperature.The inspection confirmed that all lights were functioning as designed and noted that all were within the 160,000-max limit of intensity.In this event, the customer reported the intensity level of the surgical lights was too high and the patient sustained an open sore on the right shoulder that required medical intervention (excision and suture) to preclude permanent impairment of a body function or permanent damage to a body structure, concluding a serious injury occurred in this case.The inspection ruled out a device malfunction; however, the customer acknowledged overlapping of the lights which likely caused or contributed to this reported event.Prevention of this type of event is outlined as described in the ifu.Based on this no further action is required.
