The reported device, used in treatment, was received for evaluation.There was a relationship found between the returned device and the reported incident.A visual inspection was performed and found spotty residue on the light engine glass rod assembly and fibers were observed in the light guide port.Some fiber build up on the light engine cooling fins was observed.Corrosion and fibers were observed in the camera head port.Corrosion was observed on the rear connectors.A broken antenna was observed.A functional evaluation revealed the light guide cable was not recognized and the lamp does not turn on.The camera head icon stayed white indicating the port did not pass self test.The complaint was confirmed and the root cause was associated with component failure.Factors, unrelated to the manufacturing and design of the device which could have contributed to the reported event, include inability to detect the camera head or other electrical component failure.A review of the device history records showed there were no indications to suggest that the product did not meet manufacturing specification or would not be able to perform as intended.A complaint history review concluded this was a repeat issue.Internal complaint reference: case-2020-00013971-1.
