Manufacturer Narrative

Getinge became aware of an issue with one of surgical lights- hled.As it was stated initially, we received the indication that grease had fallen from the metal plate between suspension arm and spring arm.There was no injury reported however we decided to report the issue in abundance of caution, as any foreign objects falling off into sterile field or during procedure might be a source of contamination.It was established that when the event occurred, the surgical light did not meet its specification and it contributed to the event.The provided information did not indicate that the device was being used for patient treatment when the event took place.During the investigation it was found that there is no apparent trend in the complaints.Per investigation by subject matter experts at the manufacturing site, the issue was not actually grease dripping, rather the witnessed phenomenon most likely appeared after an exposure to humidity when air conditioning is turned off.The dripping observed is actually a mix of water and oil.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.
