Warnings
• Blades cannot be adequately cleaned and/or sterilized by the

for single use. Attempts to clean or sterilize the blades may result
in bio-incompatibility, infection, or product failure risks to the

• The device must be used only with McGRATH™ disposable
laryngoscope blades.
• Check that the blade is correctly fitted to the CameraStick™ before

opened, or damaged, do not use the blade.

laryngoscope may use this device.
• Do not use the blades with any other type of laryngoscope.
Blades are designed to be used with the McGRATH™ MAC video
