The hospital reported that during an endoscopic radial artery harvest, vasoview hemopro 2 was inconsistently working about halfway through.It would start and then shut off before harvester released it.It is unknown if the polyfuse was in effect or after how many seconds the device would shut off.First harvester switched out the cautery cord and then the power box that the cautery cord gets plugged into and continued to have the same problem each time.It wasn¿t until harvester got a whole new evh kit that the problem was resolved.There was a delay to open the new kit.After finishing the erah, harvester was able to do evh on the pt's entire leg without any issues.There was no patient harm.
