FDA (Devices) recall action 92895
The FDA (Devices) publishes a recall like this one as 2 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 2 pages.
Laryngoscope blades may contain an ineffective application of anti-fog agent which may result in condensation accumulating causing the screen to be blurred or obscured.
