On 6th march, 2024 getinge became aware of an issue with one of surgical lights - prismalix.It was stated the surgical light detached and was hanging from the ceiling.Issue occurred during use.A transplant case was apparently ongoing when the light detached and continued on for several more hours after the light was removed.No patient injury/harm reported.Additionally, based on photographic evidence the designated complaint unit employee found that paint was peeling from the spring arm and fork, also the dust cover from spring arm was missing.We decided to report the issue in abundance of caution as any device detachment may lead to serious injury and as any parts or particles falling off into sterile field or during procedure may cause contamination.
