Updated fields: d4(udi#), d9, g3, g6, h2, h3, h6, h11.The surgiscope 15mm x 80mm (asx15/80) was returned for evaluation.Device history record (dhr) review was completed, and no anomalies occurred during the manufacturing or packaging of the device that could be attributed to the complaint.Failure analysis - although the initial image from all the imager was out of focus, there were no functional or performance issues found with the imager.Product development was able to bring the target image into focus with the imager; the target image was focused and not foggy or hazy.Root cause - the reported complaint and complaint sample evaluation indicate that the blurry images observed by customer were due to water ingress (i.E.Known user error) and failure to adjust the focus knob (note: product development evaluation found the focus knob to be properly functioning with no damage noted).
