    ENDOPROBE #14390-1 RECEIVED BY IRIDEX ON 03/10/2010. IRIDEX RESPONDED TO THIS INCIDENT (DATED 03/29/2010) UPON REQUEST FROM THE FDA. CONCLUSION: THE RESISTOR USED TO VERIFY THAT THE CORRECT LASER WAS ATTACHED TO THE CORRECT PROBE WAS NOT FULLY ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED. THIS CAUSED THE DEVICE TO BE NOT "RECOGNIZED" BY THE LASER. NON ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED RESISTORS IN THE PROBE ARE NOT UNUSUAL AND HAVE A KNOWN FAILURE RATE OF LESS THAN 0.1%. THE ASSOCIATED RISKS FOR THIS FAILURE MODE ARE CONSIDERED ACCEPTABLE.
