Additional Manufacturer Narrative
A steris account manager stated there are three operating rooms with harmonyair a-series surgical lighting systems which have lightheads with paint chipping and peeling.The three lighting systems subject of the reported event are: 0403923125, 0403923121 and 0403923129.The reported paint chipping and peeling is attributed to improper cleaning practices by user facility personnel, specifically not properly drying the equipment after cleaning.The operator manual states (8.1), "operator manual maintenance 8.1 cleaning equipment warning-personal injury hazard: do not attempt to clean lighthead unless power is turned off and the lighthead has cooled sufficiently.Caution-possible equipment damage: use of any disinfectant solution other than those listed here may cause discoloration or deformation on the lens surface and other system components." "the use of h2o2 + paa (hydrogen peroxide + peracetic acid) is strongly discouraged for use on all steris products.Always follow manufacturer instructions for concentrations and use of cleaning products.Do not spray any cleaning product directly onto the lighthead, integrated wall control (iwc) or any system components.Clean iwc screen with a clean, lint-free cloth dampened with 90% isopropyl alcohol.For other system components, dampen a clean, soft cloth with the cleaning solution and wring out the excess moisture." the steris account manager counseled user facility personnel on the importance of following proper cleaning procedures for their lightheads.The steris service technician replaced all subject lightheads, tested the function and operation of the units and returned them to service.No additional issues have been reported.
