Getinge became aware of an issue with hanaulux 3000 surgical light.As it was stated, detachment of sterilizable handle holder occurred and one screw inside its attachment was missing.There was no injury reported, however, we decided to report the issue in abundance of caution as any parts falling off into sterile field or during procedure may cause contamination.It was established that when the event occurred, the surgical light did not meet its specification and it contributed to the event.There is no information if upon the event occurrence, the device was or was not 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.This incident is probably due to repeated excessive torques (> 100 n), or to mechanical shocks.We remind users that the light head has to be gently manipulated.We also recommend checking if the cleaning products and processes for this operating room are conform to maquet recommendations.We believe that all remaining devices are performing correctly in the market.We also believe that if the manufacturer recommendation would have been followed the incident could have been avoided.
