A customer reported upon laryngoscopy, it was noted that the camera on the glidescope spectrum single-use directview mac s4 laryngoscope was working; however, there was no light source resulting in a black/dark screen with no visible anatomy when the blade was inserted into the patient.The intubation attempt was temporarily abandoned as users obtained a secondary glidescope unit while bag-mask-ventilating the patient.The intubation was successfully completed using a reusable glidescope blade.No delay in procedure or harm to the patient was reported.The date of event is unknown.
