Exam lights are frequently sent for repairs.It appears as though the lights are moved by grabbing the head of the light instead of the handle, leading to damage on the casing and transparent cover.This is a recurring problem with this device at this facility.All models are affected.Our facility is sending multiple reports.The devices are available for the manufacturer to inspect.The cracks are occurring in the plastic housing where the screws attach the covering to the frame.Although the age of the original floor model devices range from 2012 to 2017, the case coverings are being replaced much more frequently.There is no labeling or warnings to the end user to indicate that the lights cannot be moved or repositioned by grasping the outer light casing.The lights are located in the ed and the ob units of the facility and are often used for procedures.
