Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Per manufacturer's investigation: complaint not verified - no overheating issues were detected during testing with the equipment that was returned.The following equipment was returned for the complaint investigation: tc201us, serial number: (b)(6).Tc304us, serial number: (b)(6).Th120, serial number: (b)(6).Th120, serial number: (b)(6).The above-mentioned equipment was tested together over two days without issue.Each camera was burned-in overnight, but the system operating temperatures never came close to a point that could cause a burn.Furthermore, the equipment returned does not contact the patient, so these four items are unlikely to be the source of any potential burns.Ultimately, a condition that could cause a burn was not duplicated over 2 days of testing.
