Medtronic recalls X3 Disposable Laryngoscope Blades used with MAC Video Laryngoscope due to potential optical performance changes. Affected units have specific serial numbers and lot codes.
Blades do not fit the McGRATH MAC video laryngoscope handle or were tight fitting on the handles which may result in a change in optical performance as displayed on the video screen
Medtronic is recalling disposable laryngoscope blades that may not fit properly with their MAC video laryngoscope, causing changes in video display. This could affect medical procedures requiring clear visualization of the airway.
The blades may not fit correctly with the laryngoscope handle, leading to changes in how the video screen displays the airway. This could make it harder for medical staff to see the airway clearly during procedures.
Healthcare professionals using the McGRATH MAC Video Laryngoscope with these blades are most at risk. The recall affects specific units sold with the laryngoscope for airway procedures.
Check for the model code X3-002-000 (individual unit) or X3-003-000 (carton of 10 units). Look for serial numbers starting with M1811191 through M1904241.
Look for serial numbers on the blade packaging or blade itself starting with M1811191 through M1904241.
