Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).Maquet sas became aware of an incident with a surgical light xten device.It was reported by the customer that the light turned off during the procedure when the arm was being lowered by the physician.There was no injury reported as a result of this event.It was established that when the event occurred, the surgical light did not meet its specification and it contributed to event.At the time of the incident the device was being used for patient treatment.During the investigation it was found that in the past the reported scenario has never lead to serious injury or worse, to death.The device involved in the event is x-ten with serial number (b)(4).The manufacturing date of the device is 11th september, 2007.X-ten surgical light is discontinued since february, 2013.Performed investigation shows that the issue occurred most likely as an effect of short circuit due to the connection between wires getting loose and causing an undesired contact.This kind of issue could have been detected before, during a servicing activities.Unfortunately, due to the limited information available regarding the preventive maintenance done on the device, we are not able to establish who and how often performed the maintenance on the device.Having in mind the age of the device (over 10 years upon the issue occurrence) and the fact that this is a first complaint registered for this serial number, we can lean towards the conclusion that an issue occurred due to the excessive and prolonged usage of the surgical light rather than any other factor.We believe that all remaining devices are performing correctly in the market.Given the circumstances and the fact that there is no apparent trend in complaints of this nature we shall continue to monitor for any further events of this nature and do not propose any further action at this time.
