Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
A replacement glidescope core smart cable was provided to the customer and the reported smart cable 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 cable failure.When connecting the smart cable to verathon's test equipment, it produced an intermittent "no camera connected" error.Visual inspection did not identify any physical damage to the cable.The customer's glidescope core smart cable failed verathon's device functionality testing.Upon completion of verathon's device evaluation, the customer's smart cable was scrapped due to the customer already being provided a replacement and there being no repairs available for the device.Corrective action is not required at this time.Verathon will continue to monitor trends.
