Manufacturer Narrative

During the product inspection of the returned light source, it was found that the lamp does not start because the glass body of the lamp is broken.The bulb holder has broken out of the socket and is moving freely on the underside of the housing.Scratch marks can be seen on the underside of the housing, indicating that the bulb must have broken off over a longer period of time.After replacing the xenon lamp, the light source worked perfectly again.The device has not been repaired at karl storz since it was delivered to the customer in december 2014.Based on the given facts, the most probable cause is wear and tear.The event is filed under internal karl storz complaint id: (b)(4).
