Getinge became aware of an issue with xten surgical light.As it was stated, plates for spring arm were 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, as the dust covers should be attached still to the device.There is no information provided if in the time when the event occurred the device was or was not being used for the patient treatment.The possible root causes are: - non-conformity of the metal covers assembly.- degradation of the metal covers.- improper use (collision with another device) maquet sas analysis shows that the metal strip comes out of the covers when it is not clipped properly.In the scope of our continuous improvement policy, maquet sas initiated a modification file (e131106) to include this dust cover fitting procedure in the technical documentations with all spring arms.We believe the related devices are performing correctly in the market.We also believe that if the manufacturer recommendation would have been followed the incident would have been avoided.
