Block h3: the verisight pro catheter was returned for evaluation.Visual inspection found no unusual characteristics of the device.During functional testing, the catheter was connected to the pim, but failed to be recognized by the system, thus error 006 could not be replicated.However, the catheter failed the image test, displaying error 005.Block h6: based on the device evaluation, the probable cause for error 005 is due to the electrical connection.Manipulation, impact and applied pressure associated with use and handling can further affect the integrity of the device.The probable cause for error 006 could not be established.Submission of this report does not, in itself, represent a conclusion by the manufacturer and/or authorized representative or the national competent authority that the content of this report is complete or accurate, that the medical device(s) listed failed in any manner and/or that the medical device(s) caused or contributed to an alleged death or deterioration in the state of the health of any person.
