Plain-English summary
Verathon, Inc. is recalling 437 units of the GlideScope Core OneTouch Smart Cable (REF: 0800 0601). This accessory is used with the GlideScope Video Laryngoscope System and is distributed in the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The recall covers all serial numbers.
The recall is due to a defect where applying twisting motions or excessive torsion while connecting the blade to the HDMI port transfers force to the internal circuit board. This damage may result in video synchronization interruptions, a blank screen, or a 'no cameras connected' warning. Such failures may present a risk to patients during intubation procedures where visual guidance is critical.
Healthcare facilities and users of the GlideScope Video Laryngoscope System should stop using the affected cables and contact Verathon, Inc. for instructions on replacement or repair.
