Potential that the coating of the light head forks on the VOLISTA Surgical Lights may crack, posing the risk of particles falling into the surgical field during surgery that may result in patient infection
Maquet is recalling VOLISTA StandOP Surgical Lights because their light head forks might crack during use, potentially causing particles to fall into the surgical field and lead to patient infections. This is a serious safety issue that requires immediate attention to prevent infection risks during surgery.
The coating on the light head forks of these surgical lights may crack, allowing small particles to fall into the surgical field during procedures. If these particles enter the surgical site, they could cause infections in patients. This risk occurs during normal surgical use when the lights are operating.
Surgical teams using the Maquet VOLISTA StandOP Surgical Lights with the specific model and serial numbers listed in the recall are most at risk. Patients undergoing surgery with these lights could face infection if particles fall into the surgical field.
Check if your surgical light has the model VLT600SF STP and serial numbers listed: 28004, 31006, 31065, 31066, 31067, 31068, 31071, 35010, 35012, 35044, 35045. The product code is ARD568811910.
