    Reason

    The firm has become aware of the potential for disruption (flickering) in the video laryngoscopy image when GlideScope Titanium SU laryngoscope blades are in use. Video "flickering" appears as the intermittent break-up of the on-screen video image, appearing as either distorted horizontal or vertical bars of displaced video signal.
