The reported device, intended for use in treatment, was not returned to the designated complaint unit for independent evaluation, thus visual inspection and functional testing could not be performed.There was a relationship found between the attached images and the reported incident.An analysis of the customer provided images found a dark screen in the video output.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 or a failed imaged sensor.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.If the product associated with this event is returned at a future date, this evaluation will be reopened for investigation.
