The reported glidescope core 15-inch monitor was returned to verathon for evaluation.A verathon technical service representative evaluated the returned monitor but was unable to confirm the reported intermittent loss of image.When connecting the customer's monitor to known, good, test verathon equipment, no intermittent loss of image was identified when manipulating the cables.The monitor was kept on for one hour, captured 22 minutes of video, and no intermittent loss of image or any fault was found.The monitor passed verathon's device functionality testing and visual inspection.Upon completion of the evaluation, the customer was informed about verathon's device evaluation findings.No further investigation is required at this time.Verathon will continue to monitor for trends.
