An official Health Canada notice concerns 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.
