Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Device was installed at the customer's facility on 03-oct-2008.A review of service history for the device shows that the device has had its last pm completed on 19-aug-2019.The system had passed all operational and safety tests and was found to have met manufacturer specifications.A lumenis service engineer visited the site four (4) days after the reported event and examined the laser system.The engineer verified low coolant upon arrival.Filled coolant, restarted the system many times.Cooling flow error no longer appeared.The engineer performed pm as per service manual, tested for power output, alignment, and functionality.The device was found to have met lumenis specifications and ready for use.A lumenis clinical manager has assessed the risk.The severity was scored with 7 to reflect the risk of cancelled procedure.Subjecting a patient to another round of anesthesia carries inherent risks (this is especially true when considering a reasonable worst case patient, i.E.Diabetic).The probability of occurrence was scored with 3, based on current install base and the number of complaints reported for cancelled procedure due to malfunctions.Rpn: 7x3=21 (medium): acceptable risk.A two year historical review of similar complaints revealed that the same malfunction of ultrapulse total fx laser systems "coolant flow inadequate" has not led to serious injury in the past.In this case, the patient was awakened from anesthesia, the procedure was cancelled, although there was no report of injury associated with this event, lumenis believes that subjecting a patient to another round of anesthesia carries inherent risks, and in an abundance of caution, lumenis is reporting this event.Gso expert indicated that low coolant level is not a common issue with this system.Lumenis is closing this complaint, but will continue to monitor this failure mode; complaint trending will continue to monitor per global complaint handling sop (doc no.(b)(4)) and per post marketing surveillance procedure (doc no.(b)(4)).
