China NMPA Product Recall - McGrath MAC Video Laryngoscope

Plexus Electronica S.de R.L.de C.V., the manufacturer, has initiated a voluntary recall of its McGRATH MAC Video Laryngoscope, following a report from Covidien International Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. The recall, published on October 17, 2023, by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), stems from a significant issue involving a third-party disposal company in Mexico. This company illicitly sold video laryngoscopes that were designated for disposal on overseas social media platforms, resulting in patient harm.

The affected product, registered under National Medical Device Registration Certificate No. 20222080633, is subject to this recall due to these unauthorized sales. While the specific recall level was not detailed in this announcement, comprehensive information regarding affected models, specifications, and batch numbers is available in an attached Medical Device Recall Event Report Form. The NMPA oversees this regulatory action, ensuring that manufacturers address product safety concerns originating from supply chain and disposal management.
