The user facility reported that paint on multiple lightheads to their harmonyair a-series surgical lighting systems are chipping and peeling.No report of injury.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
A steris service technician arrived onsite to inspect the harmonyair a-series surgical lighting systems and found that paint was chipping and peeling on four lightheads; (b)(4).The reported paint chipping and peeling is attributed to improper cleaning practices by user facility personnel, specifically not properly drying the equipment after cleaning.The operator manual states (8.1), "operator manual maintenance 8.1 cleaning equipment warning-personal injury hazard: do not attempt to clean lighthead unless power is turned off and the lighthead has cooled sufficiently.Caution-possible equipment damage: use of any disinfectant solution other than those listed here may cause discoloration or deformation on the lens surface and other system components[?]"."the use of h2o2 + paa (hydrogen peroxide + peracetic acid) is strongly discouraged for use on all steris products.Always follow manufacturer instructions for concentrations and use of cleaning products.Do not spray any cleaning product directly onto the lighthead, integrated wall control (iwc) or any system components.Clean iwc screen with a clean, lint-free cloth dampened with 90% isopropyl alcohol.For other system components, dampen a clean, soft cloth with the cleaning solution and wring out the excess moisture." a steris account manager counseled user facility personnel on the importance of following proper cleaning practices for their lightheads.The light heads have been removed from service to await installation of new lightheads that have been ordered by the customer.A follow up mdr will be submitted once new information becomes available.
