It was reported that during a thyroid surgery, the endotracheal tube self-check could not be passed and that the device showed abnormal waveform fluctuation and unusual noise.Testing with a simulator indicated no issue with the device.The endotracheal tube could not be replaced during the surgery, so the recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring function could not be used normally, the procedure was extended for 15 minutes and was completed using the reported device.There was no patient impact.
