A replacement glidescope core smart cable was provided to the customer and the glidescope core smart cable used during the reported event was returned to verathon for evaluation.A verathon technical service representative evaluated the returned smart cable and was able to confirm the reported image issue.The smart cable passed visual inspection.However, when connected to known, good, test verathon equipment, no image was produced.Manipulating the connection between the smart cable and the test imaging device intermittently produced an image.The customer's smart cable failed verathon's device functionality testing.Upon completion of verathon's device evaluation, the customer's smart cable was scrapped due to the customer already being provided a replacement and there being no repairs available for the device.Corrective action is not required at this time.Verathon will continue to monitor for ongoing trends.
