Manufacturer Narrative

Getinge became aware of an issue with one of our surgical lights ¿ lucea 50.As it was stated, cover was missing.There was no injury reported, however, we decided to report the issue in abundance of caution as any parts or particles falling off into sterile field or during procedure may cause contamination or serious injury in case of event reoccurrence.According to information provided to the record, getinge technician sent a quote for a cap cover replacement.Based on the information collected, it was established that when the event occurred, surgical lights did not meet their specification, since missing or detached covers could be considered as technical deficiency, and in this way the device contributed to the event.Provided information does not indicate if upon the event occurrence, the device was or was not being used for patient treatment.When reviewing reportable events for this type of issues we were able to establish that the received incidents are occurring at moderate ratio.We have been able to confirm that the investigated issue has never led to serious injury or worse, to our knowledge.As stated by the subject matter expert, the most probable root cause of the break of this cap is repeated and violent shocks during the use of the device.Another probable root cause is that the cap has been forgotten or deteriorated after a re-adjustment of the spring arm during the maintenance of medical device.The yearly preventive maintenance program documented in the technical manuals mentions to check the presence and fixing of the plastic covers.The cap must be reinstalled during installation or after the maintenance procedure.Maquet sas strongly advises to check similar devices present at the customer site in order to check the presence of all spring arms caps.If a missing cap is noticed, a new one should be ordered as spare parts (reference: (b)(4)).We believe the related devices are performing correctly in the market.We also believe that if the manufacturer recommendation had been followed the incident could have been avoided.Getinge shall continue to monitor for any further events of this nature and do not propose any further action at this time.
