DKK Dai-Ichi Shomei Co., Ltd. has recalled approximately 2,208 Aurora Series surgical light heads because a weld on the light head frame can crack. This structural failure can cause the light head to sag, the plastic housing to crack, or the light head to detach entirely and fall. These units were distributed nationwide and are used to illuminate surgical fields during medical procedures. Consumers should contact their healthcare provider or the manufacturer to address this safety issue.
A cracked weld can cause the surgical light head to detach and fall from its mounting, posing a direct impact injury risk to patients and medical staff during a procedure. Additionally, sagging or cracking can interfere with the visibility of the surgical site.
