The data files were returned and analyzed.The console 106a3 serial number (b)(4) is still in the field.The data files confirmed the system notice #50002 (the system has detected an electrical component failure) on the date of the event.The reported issue does not indicate a console manufacturing related defect.In conclusion, the reported system notice #50002 along with a thermocouple issue were not likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury; however, the risk of the patient being under general anesthesia without full therapeutic effect is the adverse event being reported.The decision to abort the procedure without use of alternate therapy was based upon the medical judgment of the physician.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
