The reported device, intended for use in treatment, was returned to the designated complaint unit for independent evaluation.There was a relationship found between the returned device and the reported incident.Visual inspection of the returned device did not identify any issues.Functional evaluation revealed that there was loss of image when the connector is moved.The complaint has been confirmed and the root cause has been associated with an electrical component failure.Factors, unrelated to the design or manufacture of the device which could have contributed to the complaint event, include a damaged connector.A review of the device history records showed there were no indications to suggest that the lot did not meet manufacturing specification or would not be able to perform as intended.A complaint history review concluded this was a repeat issue.
