Getinge became aware of an issue with powerled ii surgical light.As it was stated, the devon handle -a non-getinge part-used with surgical light has sharp edges.There was no injury reported, however, we decided to report the issue based on the potential as sharp edges on accessible part of the device are creating risk of injury for operator of the device.During investigation, it was found that the powerled ii device was according to the manufacturer¿s specification, and the part on which the malfunction occurred was not sold by getinge.There is no information if in the time when the event occurred, the device was or was not being used for patient treatment and it contributed to the event.When reviewing similar reportable events for the same device type, we have been able to confirm that the investigated issue has never led to serious injury or worse, to our knowledge.According to the manufacturer information, the product affected was not a getinge product even although it was used on a powerled ii arm.Therefore, the most likely root cause of the allegation in this complaint cannot be established.Getinge shall continue to monitor for any further events of this nature and do not propose any further action at this time.
