A replacement glidescope titanium direct mac t3 reusable laryngoscope was provided to the customer and the reported glidescope titanium direct mac t3 reusable laryngoscope used during the patient procedure was returned to verathon for evaluation.A verathon technical service representative (tsr) evaluated the returned laryngoscope and was able to confirm the reported intermittent image issue.When connected to known, good, test verathon equipment, the tsr observed intermittent loss of image.Visual inspection did not identify any damage to the laryngoscope.The customer's laryngoscope failed verathon's device functionality testing.Upon completion of verathon's device evaluation, the device was scrapped due to the customer already being provided a replacement and there being no repairs available for this device.Corrective action is not required at this time.Verathon will continue to monitor for trends.
