Product Description
GlideScope Video Laryngoscope Reusable Blades (GVL 3, 4, 5 and AVL 2, 3, 4, 5). GVL: The GlideScope Video Laryngoscope is a video laryngoscope that incorporates a high-resolution color camera, an LED light source, a rechargeable lithium battery, and video output to a remote monitor. It consists of a video laryngoscope and a portable video monitor. AVL: The GlideScope AVL Video Monitor system has the same intended use as the GVL System. The difference between systems is that the AVL has a digital platform and the GVL an analog platform.
Reason for Recall
Verathon has revised the Operations and Maintenance Manual (OMM) to specifically state compatibility limitations of the reusable video laryngoscope Blade validated through simulated use cycles, such that exceeding this number of cycles in the specific chemical agent may affect the potential life of the product.
Distribution Pattern
Worldwide Distribution.
