What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall of a risk-of-harm medical device used in critical airway management. The ineffective anti-fog agent may cause visual obstruction during intubation, potentially impairing the provider's ability to safely manage the airway. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, keeping the score at 3 rather than 4.
Plain-English summary
Covidien has recalled 42,367 McGrath Mac 2 disposable laryngoscope blades (REF: 350-084-000, Lot # 22102001). These medical devices are used by healthcare providers to visualize the airway during intubation procedures.
