What this means for you

Plain-English summary
Getinge US Sales LLC is recalling 5,214 units of the VOLISTA StandOP Surgical Light, including models VLT600 SF AIM STP and VLT600 DF AIM STP. The devices are designed to illuminate patients during surgical operations, diagnostics, and treatment, and are installed in surgical suites, examining rooms, and outpatient consultations.
The recall was initiated after the manufacturer received complaints indicating that the device's central handle holder detaches easily from the handle holder ring on the light head during clinical use. If this detachment occurs, particles from the handle holder ring could fall into the sterile field during a procedure.
The affected units were distributed nationwide in the United States and in numerous countries worldwide. Healthcare facilities should stop using the affected devices and contact Getinge US Sales LLC for instructions on the corrective action.
