Getinge became aware of an issue with the screen holder, which is a part being in use with the surgical lights.The model of surgical light used was satelite device.As it was stated, screws were coming loose and were missing.There was no injury reported however we decided to report the issue based on the potential as any parts falling into the sterile field or during the procedure may cause a contamination.It was established that when the issue occurred, the device did not meet its specification as loose screws could be treated as technical deficiency and it contributed to the complaint as the screws shouldn't loosening.In the time when the issue occurred the device was not being used for patient treatment.During the investigation it was found that there is no apparent trend with the issue at hand and that the reported malfunction has never lead to serious injury or worse.We conclude that the issue is most likely caused by wrong maintenance of the device.This defect is visually detectable during the inspection performed by the users before any surgical procedure.We believe the related devices are performing correctly in the market.
