MAINTENANCE & SAFETY
PERIODIC INSPECTIONS
Periodic inspections should be performed to ensure safe and effective operation, in addition to performing
routine inspection by the user before and after every use. It is recommended that an operator familiar with the
instrument perform a full visual inspection of all components at least every three months. The inspector should
check the system for the following:
• External damage to the equipment
• Damage to the power supply or adapter
• Damage to the connectors or cable insulation

ELUTION COMPATIBILITY
For use with GlideScope Titanium reusable blades, Verathon
®
has completed testing of compatibility with a
1%sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) solution with pH11.0.
The SDS solution is commonly utilized in Europe as an eluting solution to collect residual protein samples from
medical tools or devices that are cleaned after contacting patient tissue. The protein sample solution is then
examined as a verification of the hospital cleaning process.
The testing concluded that 1% SDS solution with pH 11.0 is chemically compatible with the reusable blades and
gives no adverse results when performing repeated 30-minute soaking for 100cycles.
