    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
    Liz

    Hi all,
    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    Please note this Medical Device Alert has now been archived.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.
