Getinge became aware of an issue with lucea 100 surgical light.The cover was cracked and particles were missing, what was confirmed by a photographic evidence.There was no injury reported, however, we decided to report the issue in abundance of caution as any particles falling off into sterile field or during procedure may cause contamination.The light was fixed by getinge technician and was returned to service.During the investigation, it was concluded that the device involved did not meet the manufacturer¿s specification and it contributed to the event.We have not received information whether the device was being used for patient treatment at the time when the event occurred.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.The subject matter experts at the manufacturing site have investigated this type of issue and concluded as follows: the incident is due to a mechanical stress or an inappropriate use.If the described failure occurs, the user can visually detect it during the daily checks to be performed prior to each use, or during preventive maintenance.In this case, the user would contact a getinge representative to replace the defective covers of the affected device.To prevent any incident the lucea50-100 user manual mentions : ¿check the light heads for chipped paint, impact marks and any other damages¿ during the daily inspections.We believe that all remaining devices are performing correctly in the market.Given the circumstances and after our review of complaint ratio behavior of this nature, we shall continue to monitor for any further events of this nature and do not propose any further action at this time.
