Getinge became aware of an issue regarding one of surgical lights - lucea 100.As it was stated, screws developed rust occurrence.There was no injury reported, however, based on the initial allegation it could not be ruled out that a part might have fallen off the device.Therefore, we decided to report the issue in abundance of caution as any rust particles falling into sterile field or during surgery might be a source of contamination.It was established that when the event occurred, the surgical light did not meet its specification, due to metal part broken off the swivel arm and it contributed to event.It was not established if in the time when the event occurred the device was or was not being used for the patient treatment.During the investigation, it was found that the reported scenario has never led, to date, to serious injury or worse.Manufacturer did not receive enough information to conduct the technical investigation.It is not possible to determine the part involved and the root cause.In case of new relevant information, the case will be reconsidered.We believe that currently and overall, the related devices are performing correctly in the market with regards to the reported issue.
