On 2nd november, 2023 getinge became aware of an issue with one of surgical lights - powerled.It was stated the caps are loose because the retaining clips were broken and the rubber protective caps are missing on four boom arms.The designated complaint unit employee found based on photographic evidence the cap and paint were damaged with missing particles on the suspension arm.There was no injury reported, however, we decided to report the issue in abundance of caution as any particles falling off into sterile field or during procedure may cause contamination in case of reoccurrence.
