It was reported that during an ot case simulation with the iled 7 ceiling trio lights, one of the nurse was on the operating table.The light was set at 100% intensity, colour temperature 5000k, shining on the nursed knee, who was wearing ot scrub.After approximately 6 to 10 minutes, the nurse felt discomfort on the knee, and when they rolled up the scrub, they found there was redness on the knee.No medical intervention was required.This report was filed in our complaint handling system as complaint #(b)(4).

The iled 7 surgical light was designed according to iec (b)(4): 2013 and meets these requirements.The iec also indicates that overlapping of more than one light field (luminaires) can exceed the irradiance of 1000 w/m².Therefore, information shall be given with the instructions for use (ifu) that there is a risk of too much heat in the operating field.The iled 7 ifu includes a warning for this risk as well as for other conditions where it is possible to increase the irradiance.The 1000 w/m² are the limits for potential undesirable temperature rise in the operating field per the iec.The iled 7 produces 623 w/m² for the single light head.In case of overlapping with high intensity the 1000 w/m² may be exceeded.Warnings include overlapping fields of illumination of several lamp heads with high lighting intensities can cause tissue damage.The ifu states overlapping field of illumination of several lamp heads with high lighting intensities can cause tissue damage.With early onset of tissue dehydration, separate the overlapping fields of illumination of multiple lamp heads and reduce the lighting intensity of the lamp heads.Additionally, the ifu states according to the laws of physics, visible light also produces heat in the operating area.If the fields of illumination of more than one lamp head overlap, high illumination levels are created, which may led to tissue dehydration especially with longer periods of exposure and reduced blood circulation, to tissue damage.In case of reduced blood circulation or any symptoms of tissue dehydration, the lighting intensity must be reduced.The light heads involved in this event were inspected, and one of the 3 lights was not within specification.This light head was replaced and returned to the manufacturers plant.Further investigations identified that one sensor was not working correctly.After replacement of this sensor the light head was working as intended.However, the reported event of skin redness was traced to the overlapping of three light fields with high intensity.Baxter already initiated a field corrective action is relation to this topic (baxter ref.No.(b)(4).As a remedial action the light head was replaced.No further corrective or preventive actions are identified at this time.
