Reported risk: Steris identified through customer complaints that the LB53 light handle covers may separate from the light handle (detach and fall off) during use. Through additional investigation Steris has determined the issue to be associated with the specific lots. If the light handle cover were to fall off during a patient procedure, the sterile field may be impacted which could result in an injury to the patient. Recall start date: March 9, 2023
