Operations & Maintenance Manual: Important Information
This instrument and related devices may contain mineral oils, batteries, and other environmentally
hazardous materials. When the instrument or accessories have reached the end of their useful
service life, see the section Device Disposal on page 48. Dispose of used, single-use components
as infectious waste.
WARNING
Several areas of the video laryngoscope that contact the patient can exceed 41°C (106°F) as part of
normal operation:
• The first area is the light-emitting area surrounding the camera. When used as indicated,
continuous contact with this area is unlikely because, if tissue were to contact this area, the view
would be lost and devices would need to be adjusted to regain the airway view.
• The second area is the area surrounding the camera, out of view of the camera. Continuous
contact with this area is unlikely because the product is typically not held stationary for an
extended period of time exceeding 1minute.
If continuous contact is maintained for longer than 1minute, it is possible to cause thermal damage
such as a burn to the mucosal tissue.
Note: Typical intubations are less than 1minute in duration.
WARNING
The reusable Titanium video laryngoscope is considered a semi-critical device intended to contact
the airway. It must be thoroughly cleaned and undergo high-level disinfection after each use.
WARNING
When you are guiding the endotracheal tube to the distal tip of the video laryngoscope, ensure that
you are looking in the patient’s mouth, not at the video monitor screen. Failure to do so may result
in injury to the tonsils or soft palate.
WARNING
The external monitor must be safety-approved medical equipment.
WARNING
Use only a passive-type USB flash drive. Do not use USB drives powered by another external source.
