Additional Manufacturer Narrative
A steris service technician inspected the harmonyair m-series surgical lighting system and found the screw that holds the cover in place was still attached to the lighting system along with a small ring of plastic around the screw.This type of damage is indicative of the light head impacting other equipment.Additionally, the steris technician removed the screw and ring of plastic and observed residual liquid under the ring.The liquid appeared to be a cleaning/disinfecting agent.The exposure to incompatible cleaning/disinfecting agent(s) can cause embrittlement/weaking of the polymer from which the cover is manufactured.The residual liquid observed can be attributed to improper cleaning practices by user facility personnel.The steris technician replaced the knuckle cover, tested the surgical lighting system and confirmed the unit to be operating properly.The operator manual states (1-4), "do not bump lightheads into walls or other equipment.Always use handles or gripping surface when positioning lighthead during surgical procedures, or when cleaning or servicing the lighting system." the operator manual further states (6-2), "cleaning and disinfecting agents used on this lighting system must be certified by their manufacturer to be compatible with the following materials: polycarbonate, polyetherimide, santoprene." "do not spray any cleaning product directly onto the lighthead, touch panel control unit (tpcu) or any system components.Clean tpcu 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." a steris account manager performed in-service training on the proper use and operation for the harmonyair m-series surgical lighting system, specifically not bumping the light into other equipment, and the importance of following proper cleaning practices.The steris service technician returned the lighting system to service and no additional issues have been reported.
