Getinge became aware of an issue with one of surgical lights - volista standop 600.It was stated the corrosion has built up on the device.We decided to report the issue in abundance of caution as any rust particles falling off into sterile field or during procedure may cause contamination.It was established that when the event occurred, the device did not meet its specification, due to corrosion.It was not established if in the time when the event occurred the device was being used for the patient treatment.When reviewing reportable events for this type of issues we were able to establish that the received incident is occurring at a low ratio.Despite our best efforts, we did not receive sufficient 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.
