Getinge received customer product complaint where an issue with one of surgical lights occurred - lucea.Initial allegation was the crack of the cover occurred.Photo evidence was showing lack of cover, so it was suspected that it has detached.Further clarification of the issue reveled that the cover has been removed by the customer.There were no injuries reported however based on initial allegation and photo evidence we decided to report the issue in abundance of caution as any parts falling off into sterile field or during procedure may lead to contamination.It was established that when the event occurred, the surgical light did not meet its specification as it was damaged and particles were missing, and it contributed to event.None of the provided information indicate that upon the event occurrence the device was being used for patient treatment.During the investigation it was found that in the past the reported scenario has never lead to serious injury or worse, to death.Cover cracking is indicated by our product experts to likely be caused by combination of different factors such as: mechanical stress, environmental conditions (such a high temperature and humidity variations during transport and storage), use of inappropriate cleaning/disinfections products, or inappropriate cleaning and disinfection protocols.We believe that overall the devices on the market are performing correctly.We also believe that if the preventive maintenance would have been followed the incident could have been avoided.Given the circumstances we shall continue to monitor for any further events of this nature and do not propose any further action at this time.
