    Reason

    Verathon has revised the Operations and Maintenance Manual (OMM) to specifically state compatibility limitations of the reusable video laryngoscope Blade validated through simulated use cycles, such that exceeding this number of cycles in the specific chemical agent may affect the potential life of the product.
