The correction of d1 brand name, d4 version or model #, d4 catalog #, d4 unique identifier (udi) # deems required.This is based on the internal evaluation.Previous d1 brand name: powerled ii 700.Corrected d1 brand name: maquet powerled ii.Previous d4 version or model #: ard569201967.Corrected d4 version or model #: ardpwt229089a.Previous d4 catalog #: ard569201967.Previous d4 unique identifier (udi) #: n/a.Corrected d4 unique identifier (udi) #: (b)(4).Getinge became aware of an issue with one of surgical lights - powerled ii 700.It was stated and confirmed by photographic evidence that screws connecting fork and spring arm were worn out resulting in loosened connection between those parts and risk of detachment.According to the information provided by getinge technician there was no harm to the user or patient.We decided to report the issue in abundance of caution as detachment of fork and headlight could lead to serious injury in case of event reoccurrence.It was established that when the event occurred, the surgical light did not meet its specification and in this way the device contributed to event.There is no information if the claimed device was not being used for patient treatment or diagnosis when the event took place.The gap between fork and spring arm was created because of screws loosening.The grinding is the result of this loosening.It has been proved at maquet sas that the threadlock was well applied on the screws during manufacturing as instructed in the process assembly document (gom5789).Besides, it has been verified as well that this shaft was not loosened when the lighthead left the factory or at least the probability is very low.Indeed, after assembly the fork is handled by several operators who would have noticed such a default.Therefore, the most probable root cause is that the shaft was removed for maintenance reason on site and then re-assembled incorrectly (screws not enough tightened).So far, it remains an isolated case on this range of lights (pwdii).Getinge shall continue to monitor for any further events of this nature and does not propose any further action at this time.
