Manufacturer Narrative

Getinge became aware of an issue with one of surgical lights- hled.As it was stated, the surgical light suddenly fell down and hit the surgeon¿s head.It was established that he felt pain for some minutes and no medical intervention was required.Moreover, the issue occurred during the movement of the cupola to the proper position before surgery and patient was not on the table at the moment when the issue occurred.It was established that when the event occurred, the surgical light did not meet its specification and it contributed to event.In the time when the event occurred the device was not being used for the patient treatment.Upon the performed investigation it was established that the event occurred as a combination of three different factors: a missing screw, the vertical motion of the safety sleeve and the transition of the safety segment.We believe the related devices are performing correctly in the market.We also believe that if the manufacturer recommendation would have been followed the incident would have been avoided.Given the circumstances and the fact that the occurrence rate is considered to be low we shall continue to monitor for any further events of this nature and do not propose any further action at this time.
