Hi all,
I am enquiring as to how your reusable laryngoscope blades and handles are reprocessed.
Are they classified, as per the Spaulding Classification, as semi-critical?Looking forward to you responses & I thank you in advance.
Cheers

I usually read discussions and find I have nothing further to add. However this one triggered an alarm at the back of my head.
Please note this Medical Device Alert has now been archived. I provide it only to inform discussion.http://www.briteprosolo.com/images/downloads/MHRA%20Alert%20Laryngoscopes%20Sept%202011.pdf
