Aurora 7 Surgical Light Heads Recalled for Cracked Weld Frames
DKK Dai-Ichi Shomei is recalling 555 Aurora 7 surgical light heads because frame welds can crack, causing the frame to sag, the housing to crack, or the light head to detach.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall of surgical lighting equipment. The weld defect presents a risk of equipment detachment during surgery, but no injuries or illnesses have been reported. This meets the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
