The customer called the customer care solutions center for troubleshooting support and the call was dispatched for onsite evaluation by a philips field service engineer (fse).The fse stated he followed the testing process per the mx40 service and installation manual and confirmed the device passed performance testing.The fse did indicate that the leadset connector had corrosion noted on pin 4 and the leadset that was in use at the time of the event was not provided for evaluation.The customer was requested to release the device for return via return materials authorization (rma) to philips (b)(4).For full performance testing but the customer declined to release the device.Audit log data from the information center ix supports that the central received a leadset unplugged indication from the device at 9:26:32 which was silenced at 9:27.The condition did not end until 10:31 when the device entered standby.Testing by a philips fse found the product performing as expected and no data transmission issues between the mx40 device in use and the information center ix.No malfunction occurred.As the customer did not agree to any further formal testing of the mx40 device itself other than onsite performance testing, no further action or investigation is warranted.The results of the investigation have been provided to the customer via a formal letter which was then followed by a teleconference to answer remaining questions.
