Manufacturer Narrative

Getinge became aware of an issue with one of surgical lights ¿ lucea 50.The initial allegation was pointing to the cover of the device being broken.According to information provided by the getinge service technician the cover of the lucea device was not broken but disassembled by the customer from the device.The reason of the disassembly is suspected to be a loosened screw.The device at hand is being maintained by the customer himself, however no documented activity could be shown for this case.There was no injury reported however we decided to report the issue in abundance of caution as improperly installed cover may lead to parts falling and then might cause contamination.When reviewing similar reportable events registered for lucea 50 surgical light we established that the issue at hand is the first case of this nature.Based on the information collected to date it was established that when the event occurred, the surgical light did not meet the manufacturer¿s specification.The device at hand contributed to the event.The provided information did not indicate that the device was being used for patient treatment when the event took place.Upon the performed investigation, we conclude the most likely root cause of the problem occurrence to be related to user error (loosening of the screws due to handling of the device via the cover and not via the designated handle) and most likely lack of correct maintenance of the device.We believe that remaining devices are performing correctly in the market.Given the circumstances and the fact that there is no apparent trend in complaints of this nature we shall continue to monitor for any further events of this nature and do not propose any further action at this time.
