Manufacturer Narrative

Getinge became aware of an issue with one of the surgical light- x-ten.As it was stated, the plastic particles were crumbling from the direction handles of the device.There was no injury reported, however it was decided to report this issue based on the potential as any particles falling off into the sterile field or during operation 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.The provided information did not indicate that the device was being used for patient treatment when the event took place.During the investigation it was found that there is no apparent trend in the complaints.Despite several reminders it was not possible to get information about the chemicals used for cleaning.Nevertheless, for such a loss of mechanical characteristics, the hypothesis of a chemical root cause is very likely.The age of these handles combined with not compliant chemical product is the most likely root cause of this phenomenon.We believe the related devices are performing correctly in the market.We also believe that if the manufacturer recommendation would have been followed the incident would have been avoided.
