An onsite evaluation of the thermogard console (sn (b)(4)) was performed by a zoll service technician.The customer reported complaint for the thermogard console intermittently warming was confirmed during functional testing but not during the event log review.The root cause for the reported complaint, was found out to be due to degraded and burnt contacts on the cooling engine (ce) connection wiring and the pic16 connection wiring to the pc board, that could have caused the thermogard console to intermittently warming.The thermogard console is a reusable device and was manufactured in february 2011 and is more than 10 years old, well beyond its expected serviceable life of 5 years.The cooling engine (ce) and the pic16 connection wiring were replaced to address the issue.The secondary reported complaint the pump did not turn during the treatment was confirmed during the visual inspection.The root cause for the reported complaint was the damaged pump rotor head handle.The probable cause could be due to the user mishandling.The pump rotor head was replaced to address the issue.Visual inspection was performed and noted missing pan drip.The observed issue is unrelated to the reported complaint.The probable cause could be due to the user mishandling.The missing pan drip was installed to address the issue.The event log review showed no significant discrepancies.Following service, the thermogard xp ivtm system passed the final testing without any error.Historical complaints were reviewed for service information related to the reported complaint, and there was no similar complaint reported for the thermogard console with serial number (b)(4).
