The reported issue occurred on a device used for diagnosis and not treatment.The scope associated with the reported issue was returned and investigated under (b)(4).The program development manager (pdm) confirmed that even though the customer reported receiving the ¿scope disconnected warning¿ that indicates the scope had been unplugged, the scope was not unplugged from the system during the whole procedure.Failure analysis was unable to confirm the occurrence of any faults or errors related to the reported issue because at the time of this report, the system logs were not available for review.There were multiple attempts to retrieve logs with no success.Although the customer attempted to troubleshoot the issue by disconnecting and reconnecting the scope in use, the customer opted to discontinue the procedure and aborted the case.There were no other faults or errors reported by the customer that would indicate that there was an issue with the system.Based on the available information, the product met specifications.A review of the device history record (dhr) for system 110044 was performed and no non-conformances were identified relating to the reported issue.The subject scope was connected to a bench test fixture to verify electrical functionality of the camera, light emitting diode (led), and electromagnetic sensors (em).The scope tip was manually articulated while monitoring the resistance of each sensor, and the camera image to confirm that there was no intermittent open on either sensor or camera image degradation.The results showed observed both sensors to be within specification, there was a short to the camera gnd wire and camera image was working as expected with led light.The results showed the bronchoscope to be not operating as expected.A review of the calibration data obtained from production final acceptance testing revealed all acceptance criteria were met and no anomalies found.Based on the results from the examination, the product did not meet specifications.A review of similar investigations with similar reported issue (color bar) has noted that this is a known issue and have not established a possible root cause.Previous report submission date: 2/23/2023.Component code: g05001 (scope) , g07002 (system).Investigation findings: c20 (system); investigation conclusion: d14 (system).
