Plain-English summary
Medline Industries, LP is recalling specific medical convenience kits containing Flexicare BritePro Solo Fiber Optic Laryngoscope Handles. Four kit models are affected (ACC010381C, ACC010532, ACC010671, and ACC010728), totaling 596 units.
The laryngoscope handles in these kits are failing to illuminate as intended. Laryngoscopes are critical equipment used to visualize the airway during intubation and emergency procedures. Without proper illumination, healthcare providers cannot see the airway, which could compromise patient care and treatment outcomes.
The affected kits were distributed to healthcare facilities in Alabama, California, Delaware, Oregon, Tennessee, and Texas.
Healthcare facilities that received these kits should immediately discontinue use of the affected laryngoscope handles and contact Medline Industries for information regarding replacement or proper disposal of the defective equipment.
