Is there any "grace period" for the warranty on Vocera badges?
The badge in question is a V5000 Smartbadge with SN [XXXXXX]. It was reported with a button issue on 1/27/2026. The warranty end date is 1/20/2026. I am currently waiting for the badge to arrive from the field for testing.
Thank You

On 2/3/2026, I received a reply from Support Engineer, Customer Care, Stryker Medical that stated "There is a two-week grace period applicable to badge warranties." I take this to mean that I can submit an online RMA request up to two weeks (14) days from the badge's warranty expiration date without requiring additional assistance from the Styrker/Vocera support team. Do you concur?
The Stryker/Vocera support team issued RMA XXXX specifically for V500 Smartbadge xxxxxxxxxxF540 without any additional input from me. That was greatly appreciated!
That badge is currently en route to your XXX RMA facility by XXX with an ETA of 2/11/2026.
