Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The reported glidescope spectrum single-use directview mac s3 laryngoscope used during the procedure was not returned to verathon for evaluation.However, the customer returned a glidescope core 10-inch monitor and two glidescope core smart cables.A verathon technical service representative (tsr) evaluated the monitor but was found to be working as intended.Next, when connecting the customer's smart cables to known, good, test verathon equipment, a defect was found with one of the smart cables.The customer's smart cable failed verathon's device functionality testing.Upon completion of verathon's device evaluation, the customer was notified about verathon's findings and recommended the customer replace the faulty smart cable.The monitor and smart cable found to be functional were returned to the customer.Verathon also requested the customer return the subject glidescope spectrum single-use directview mac s3 laryngoscope to verathon for evaluation.To date, the device has not been received and the customer has not confirmed if it will be returned.Corrective action is not required at this time.Verathon will continue to monitor for trends.Please note that sections d and h of this final report were updated to reflect the glidescope core smart cable device information as the reported issue was determined to be isolated to this system component instead of the initially reported glidescope spectrum single-use directview mac s3 laryngoscope.

**udi related data quality updates only**.This is a supplemental report correcting the unique device identifier (udi) information in section d4.In the initial report submission, the udi information field was left blank due to the subject device (glidescope spectrum single-use directview mac s3 laryngoscope) lot number and manufacture date being unknown.Despite verathon being unable to obtain the lot information from the customer, this supplemental report provides the udi-di for the subject device model.Furthermore, the final report submission for this event contained the device information for the other device component (glidescope core smart cable) that the issue was determined to be isolated to, which included its serial number and manufacture date but no udi information was provided.As requested by the fda udi helpdesk team, this supplemental report also explains why the unique device identifier (udi) information in section d4 of verathon's final report submission was left blank.The subject device was manufactured and labelled prior to the udi compliance date for class i medical devices.Therefore, and as confirmed by the fda udi helpdesk team, the udi requirements for its associated mdr do not apply.
