On (b)(6) 2024 getinge became aware of an issue with one of surgical lights - lucea duo 100/50.It was stated and confirmed by photographic evidence that paint was chipping off around the fork screw, also that the fork screw was loose due to damaged thread in fork, which may cause the fork detachment.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.
