getinge became aware of an issue with one of surgical lights - powerled.During preventive maintenance by getinge, the paint damage (chipped paint) was found on the entire lighting system.In addition, the fastening screws for the covers were missing on a spring arm and keypad membrane was damaged with missing particles.The designated complaint unit employee confirmed based on photographic evidence the paint was chipping form headlight handle, suspension arm and spring arm and fork, the labels were torn with missing particles and the screws and caps were missing from spring arm.We decided to report the issue in abundance of caution as any rust particles falling off into sterile field or during procedure may cause contamination.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.The claimed device was not being used for patient treatment or diagnosis when the event took place.The possible root causes for missing cover are: - non-conformity of the metal covers assembly.- degradation of the metal covers.- improper use (collision with another device).Maquet sas analysis shows that the metal strip comes out of the covers when it is not clipped properly.In the scope of our continuous improvement policy, maquet sas initiated a modification file (e131106) to include this dust cover fitting procedure in the technical documentations with all spring arms.All maquet sas products comply with: iec 60601-1 ed.2.0 & ed.3.0 general requirements for basic safety and essential performance, iec 60601-2-41 particular requirements for the safety of surgical luminaires and luminaire for diagnosis, paint definition pfc066.This procedure defines maquet sas¿s requirements for all painted parts.Disinfection products test: the aim of these tests is to detect any incompatibility with disinfectant.The paint chip or paint damages are due to: impacts, collisions (abnormal use).The operating manual includes the instructions to pre-position the arms prior to use, in order to prevent damages.To prevent any similar incident, it is recommended to avoid the collisions between devices.Visual inspections during the cleaning allow to detect the painting defect, we recommend to perform corrective maintenance to rectify the default after its detection.Minor pain chip can be repaired with touch up paint, nevertheless the parts impacted by serious damage must be replaced.The keypad peeling off is a normal wear at this location.In the chapter daily inpections before use the user manual mentions to check that the keypad is in good condition.As soon as a default is noticed on the keypad membrane, its replacement must be performed.The film protection is available as spare part.Label peeling is probably due to collision or repeated excessive rubbing during cleaning of the device, the use of aggressive or unsuitable cleaning agents may be a contributing factor.The user manual mentions to check the lightheads for chipped paint, impact marks and any other damages during daily checks.The fact that one cover screw was found sheared couldn¿t lead to the cover fall because it was still held by the remaining screw and also by all the clips.Indeed, the spring arm cover sides are attached to each other by 8 clips.This kind of breakage cannot occur during use because no stress is applied at this location.The most likely root cause is an excessive tightening during maintenance or installation.Getinge shall continue to monitor for any further events of this nature and does not propose any further action at this time.
