RetCam is a diagnostic aid which helps to examine the retina blood vessels in babies. The frequent movement of this device causes damage to its foot pedal cable. When consulted with the manufacturers, they said that the whole set of the device and its foot pedal together has to be replaced. The cost of the device is Rs. 109,000/ which is very expensive. Hence, this issue was fixed innovatively by replacing the damaged cable with an HDMI cable, cut appropriately and soldered to it.
