Manufacturer Narrative
|
On (b)(6)2019 we became aware of an issue with one of surgical lights- powerled.As it was stated, the plastic from the keypad cover was bursting.There was no injury reported, however we decided to report the issue in abundance of caution as any particle falling into sterile field or during procedure might be a source of contamination.It was established that when the event occurred, the surgical light did not meet its specification and it contributed to the event.There is no information if during the event occurrence the device was or was not being used for patient treatment.With the complaint at hand, we did not receive any information regarding the cleaning solution used by the customer to clean the device, however the plastic degradation can lead us to the conclusion that it is related to malfunction of the keypad.Therefore, we are able to assume that the most likely root cause of the issue is related to the maintenance of the device itself.It is worth adding, that no service/maintenance history has been obtained for the claimed device.The information how to clean the device is included in instructions for use, provided together with the device to the customer.We also believe that if the manufacturer recommendation would have been followed the incident could have been avoided.Given the circumstances and the fact that this is the first complaint 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.
