Lumenis investigated the reported event by contacting the user facility directly.Attempts by emails and phone calls have been made to obtain; patient treatment settings, patient information, patient photo.The device nuera 1.2 ga-5200000us:nt1451-21g-224 was installed on (b)(6) 2021 and it's still on warranty.This case was escalated to tech.Support and they reported: "called customer, left a message.This sounds like it needs to be a safety case.I recommend ordering a new electrode ø 70 capacitive (b)(4)." (b)(6) 2022 order shipped for delivery # 813388584.Since, there is no proven evidence that the device malfunction was the suspected cause of the adverse event because customer did not initiated service visit for testing of this device and low temperature means less energy and not likely can lead to serious injury with permanent impairment.Anyway, per technical support recommendation, replacement part was sent to the customer.Since lumenis is not the manufacturer of the device, which was used during this procedure, this case is not reportable from technical aspect by lumenis.However, lumenis has informed the legal manufacturer, bios, on this adverse event, and has sent them all the relevant information regarding to investigation process, findings and conclusions.Lumenis could not evaluate the rate of injury because we have not received yet the incident form (if) from facility.Due to lack of information (no incident form received), lumenis is reporting the event in an 'abundance of caution' from clinical aspect.Should additional significant information become available, the complaint record will be updated accordingly and a follow-up medwatch report will be submitted.
