Reason for the Action In some cases, the cover glass of the camera and/or the LED on the 8403 Series Video Laryngoscopes can come away from the device. The user is instructed to inspect the device for such faults prior to use as specified in the product’s instructions for use (IFU).

Given the cover glass can come away from the device, there is the potential for this component to fall into the patient’s airway during application.

To date, no patient injuries have been reported.

- Inspect their stock and quarantine any affected devices.
