On 5th april, 2024 getinge became aware of an issue with one of surgical lights - powerled ii 500.Based on photographic evidence the designated complaint unit employee found that paint was chipping from headlight and label was chipping from fork with risk of missing particles.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.
