Getinge became aware of an issue with one of our surgical light - powerled.As it was stated during inspection of the device technician noticed that handle of the device had been broken off.No information about any injury was provided, however we decided to report this case in abundance of caution as considering the worst case scenario which is unexpected handle detachment and falling off into sterile field or during procedure, the issue may cause contamination.It was established that when the event occurred, the surgical light did not meet its specification as the handle shouldn¿t detach and it contributed to incident in that way.There is no information if at the time when the event occurred the device was or was not being used for patient treatment.It was noticed that the handle had been broken off by an error in use.As maquet did not receive enough information to conduct the technical investigation, therefore the factory investigation report cannot be performed.In case of new relevant information, the case will be reconsidered.Getinge shall continue to monitor for any further events of this nature and do not propose any further action at this time.
