On (b)(6) 2023 getinge became aware of an issue with one of our equipment - single arm sahorms 14.As it was stated, the arm end caps were loose due to the retaining lugs which have broken off.There was no injury reported and the circumstances of the issue are unknown.However, considering the worse case scenario the broken off parts could fall off into the sterile field, therefore we decided to report this issue in abundance of caution as it might be a source of contamination.
