Manufacturer Narrative

The failure identified in the investigation is consistent with the complaint record.Reportability decision was checked for consistency.The reported failure mode will be monitored for future reoccurrence.Alleged failure: "lymphatic vessel was imaged by using vpi and spyphi.Vpi was used for about 40 min.When the spyphi was handed at the end of the procedure, a noise arose and the monitor black out.A smoke came our from the duct of the vpi rear panel and smelled of burn.The device could not be booted up anymore." probable root cause: reported failure to power up was caused by a faulty vpi power supply.Power supply failures were investigated under p283dn208 concluding that the manufacturer is aware of the failure mode and have been constantly implementing corrective actions to reduce the failure rate.As a precaution, the engineering team is currently further assessing the need for a supplier change and/or redesign on the current vpi power supplies.The device manufacturer date is not known.
