FDA Slaps a Class I Recall on Verathon's Video Laryngoscope

The FDA today labeled a recall notice from Verathon for its GlideScope Titanium single-use video laryngoscope due to issues with potential video feed disruption.

Class I recall designations, the agency’s most serious classification of recall, are used when there is a reasonable probability that product use could cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

The GlideScope laryngoscope is designed to visualize the vocal cords and assist in the insertion of a tracheal tube used during other medical procedures.
