The reported glidescope video monitor was returned to verathon for evaluation.A verathon technical service representative evaluated the returned video monitor and was able to confirm the reported malfunction.When connecting the customer's glidescope video monitor to known, good, test verathon equipment, the image from the blade was flickering.Upon testing the monitor with a new back shell, the root cause was identified to be a failed main board.The main board was replaced and the device was tested and certified to be operating within specification.The camera image quality test was performed and passed.Upon completion of the evaluation and repair, the glidescope video monitor was returned to the customer.Corrective action is not required at this time.Verathon will continue to monitor for any ongoing trends.
