1 Introduction
1.1 Description
The McGRATH® MAC Video Laryngoscope
(McGRATH® MAC or the device) is a tool
used to aid the intubation of the trachea.
As a rigid laryngoscope it holds and
shapes the anatomy allowing a clear view
of the larynx and entrance to the trachea.
The need to provide a secure airway is
fundamental to an anesthesiologist’s role
prior to a surgical procedure. Paramedics,
emergency physicians and general
practitioners may also be required to
insert a tracheal tube in an emergency
to keep the airway open where an
unconscious patient is undergoing
cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. The
device and its accessories are intended
for use in a professional healthcare
environment only.
The device incorporates a light source
(LED) and miniature camera (camera) to
view the larynx during the procedure of
laryngoscopy. The image is displayed on
an LCD screen (screen) contained within
a monitor mounted to the handle of
the device.
A McGRATH® MAC 3.6V battery (battery
unit) mounted within the handle powers
the screen, camera, and LED. The
McGRATH® disposable laryngoscope
blade (blade) covers the camera and LED
assembly (CameraStick™) to prevent
direct patient contact. McGRATH® blades
are supplied sterile and are single use.
