Verathon is conducting a voluntary correction for a limited number glidescope core 15 and core 15 fhd monitors.Verathon has received 12 complaints from customers about a loss of image when using a core 15 or core 15 fhd monitor in conjunction with unique combinations of the glidescope core 2m quickconnect cable (0600-0843) and spectrum qc single-use video laryngoscopes.No injuries have been reported.Verathon has implemented a correction in the form of a software update (core 15: v1.10 and core 15 fhd: v1.8) to prevent a loss of image.Verathon's investigation confirmed that with these unique combinations that a video signal delay issue can contribute to a degradation in image quality, a loss of image, or the airway cannot be visualized.This may lead to a delay in the procedure until a replacement or alternative device is obtained, which may cause serious injury.Following the reported event, the customer was provided the aforementioned software update for their glidescope core 15-inch fhd monitor.To date, no other issues have been reported.Verathon will continue to monitor for ongoing trends.
