Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The investigation by hillrom/trumpf medical identified that the locking segment (crescent key), which secures the light head to the spring arm, came out of the connection.This allowed the light head to separate from the spring arm and fell down.The locking segment is usually covered by a sleeve to avoid the locking segment to come out.The sleeve is usually secured by a screw which prevents the sleeve to move from its securing location.This screw was missing and could not be found during the on-site device inspection.The missing screw allowed the sleeve to move upside.This is possible during the cleaning procedure or the recurrent use of the device.If the sleeve is not in the correct place the crescent key may move out of the connection over time.As the screw could not be found in the or it is most likely it was missing for some time.According to the instructions for use the user has to check the device prior each use for any damages and that all functions are working.Additionally, each week a functional check and visual inspection has to be performed.The missing screw and the moved sleeve could have been detected by the user prior the separation of the light head.It was further identified that the customer ordered a non-authorized service company for the maintenance and service work since the installation of the surgical lights in 2013.A service report was available for september 2021 which was done by a non-authorized service company.Within this service report it is recorded ¿replacement of small parts (springs, screws, fuses, etc.) dismantling/reinstallation of equipment¿.It is most likely the non-authorized service company missed to install the screw.According to the instructions for use only authorized and trained service companies are allowed for all maintenance and repair activities.Remedial action: the light was repaired and is working as intended.Based on the investigation findings no further actions are required.
