The reported glidescope spectrum single-use lopro s3 laryngoscope used during the procedure was returned to verathon for evaluation.A verathon technical service representative (tsr) evaluated the returned device and was able to confirm the reported failure.Upon visual inspection, the retention pin on the laryngoscope's connector was found to be bent.Upon completion of verathon's device evaluation, the glidescope spectrum single-use lopro s3 laryngoscope was scrapped due to being a single-use device.Corrective action is not required at this time.Verathon will continue to monitor for trends.
