The correction of d1 brand name, d4 catalog #, d4 version or model # and d4 unique identifier (udi) # deems required.This is based on the internal evaluation.Previous d1 brand name: powerled 700.Corrected d1 brand name: powerled tm.Previous d4 catalog # ard568371939.Corrected d4 catalog # none.Previous d4 version or model # ard568371939.Corrected d4 version or model # ard568436010a.Previous d4 unique identifier (udi) #: n/a.Corrected d4 unique identifier (udi) # (b)(4).On 24th may, 2024 getinge became aware of an issue with one of surgical lights - powerled 700.The issue was not clear enough to establish if it affected device should be considered as risk related.Further information provided by getinge employee on 24th june 2024 indicated the rotation is possible without limitation and new stop segment was installed.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.Defective stop segment was replaced and device was back to usage.Based on the information collected, 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.It is unknown if claimed device was or was not being used for patient treatment or diagnosis when the event took place.According to the subject matter expert at the manufacturer¿s, the problem with the stops rotation reported on some pwd700 and hled 700 light heads is due to a lack of contact area between the stops.These stops realized with screw heads seem to be too short and become ineffective over time.The result is that the light can rotate freely, unplugging the cables and eventually creating some metal fillings.In september 2011, maquet sas has changed these screws in the production line but has not noticed any adverse outcome.Before this date, the screws were a bit longer, hence the stops stronger and should not be concerned by this problem.This issue is followed through the capa 464134.Getinge shall continue to monitor for any further events of this nature and do not propose any further action at this time.
