McGRATH™ Mac 2 Laryngoscope Blade

Medtronic received six (6) complaints of poor picture quality and foggy and/or blurred images on the McGRATH™ Mac 2 video laryngoscope screen during use of these blades. The reports indicated a delay to treatment while an alternate device was located and/or oral tissue injury due to multiple intubation attempts. Medtronic investigation of these customer reports identified a manufacturing issue which resulted in an ineffective application of the antifog agent on the blades. An ineffective application of the anti-fog coating can result in condensation accumulating on the blade during use, resulting in the image on the video laryngoscope screen being blurred or obscured.
