Getinge became aware of an issue with one of surgical lights - hanaulux 2000.The safety sleeve on spring arm was missing what was confirmed by photography evidence.There was no injury reported however we decided to report the issue based on the potential as lack of safety sleeve may lead to detachment of light head, moreover, fall of any parts into sterile field may lead to contamination or injury.It was established that when the event occurred, the surgical light did not meet its specification as the safety sleeve was missing and it contributed to event.The operating theatre was under overhaul when event was reported so when the event occurred the device was not being used for the patient treatment.It was confirmed by technician that device was repair and put back into service.It was found that the possible root cause of the missing safety sleeve is a collision.The safety sleeve involved was not returned for evaluation.The absence of the safety sleeve can enable the removal of the safety segment, leading to the fall of the light head.A new safety sleeve ref hm56051827, available as spare parts, must be installed in order to avoid any incident.To prevent any safety issue the user manual ¿hlx 2000 nu 56351039 e, 8.1 inspection by the operator, page 20¿ indicates to check the plastic parts every six months.Therefore, the root cause of the issue is user related.We believe that if the manufacturer recommendation would have been followed the incident would have been avoided.
