The reported glidescope spectrum single-use lopro s3 laryngoscope used during the procedure was returned to verathon for evaluation.A verathon technical service representative evaluated the returned device and was able to confirm the reported issue.The device passed visual inspection.When connecting the reported device to verathon's test equipment, it produces a normal image; however the led does not illuminate.The glidescope spectrum single-use lopro s3 laryngoscope failed verathon's device functionality testing.Upon completion of verathon's device evaluation, the lopro s3 was scrapped due to being a single-use device.Corrective action is not required at this time.Verathon will continue to monitor for trends.
