On (b)(6) 2024 getinge became aware of an issue with one of surgical lights - volista standop.As it was stated, the missing protective caps were installed (dust covers).There is no information about the circumstances of the missing parts.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 in case of reoccurrence.
