Before each use, reusable video laryngoscopes must be high-level disinfected, and video cables and Smart Cables
must be low-level disinfected. Use the following instructions to disinfect the GlideScope Smart Cable, video cable,
or reusable Titanium video laryngoscope. Not all chemical solutions listed in Table 9 are compatible with each
