Manufacturer Narrative

The light heads returned were investigated by hillrom.No malfunction was identified which is likely to cause the skin tanning.The devices are within the specification for maximum illuminance values to not cause skin tanning.The root cause could not be identified clearly but was most likely caused by overlapping of more than one light filed which is clearly forbidden by the instructions for use.Based on this no further actions are necessary.
