Operations & Maintenance Manual: Important Information
When cleaning reusable video laryngoscopes, do not use metal brushes, abrasive brushes, scrub
pads, or rigid tools. They will scratch the surface of the unit or the window protecting the camera
and light, which may permanently damage the device.
CAUTION
Caution. Risk of permanent equipment damage.
This product is sensitive to heat, which will cause damage to the electronics. Do not expose the video cables or
reusable Titanium video laryngoscopes to temperatures above 60°C (140°F).
Do not use autoclaves or pasteurizers for video cables or reusable Titanium video laryngoscopes. Use of such
methods to clean, disinfect, or sterilize the components will cause permanent device damage and void the
warranty. Refer to the Cleaning & Disinfecting chapter for a list of approved cleaning procedures and products.
CAUTION
WARNINGS
Before every use, ensure the instrument is operating correctly and has no sign of damage. Do not
use this product if the device appears damaged. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
To ensure patient safety, routinely inspect the reusable video laryngoscope before and after every use
in order to ensure the blade is free of rough surfaces, sharp edges, cracks, protrusions, or any other
indication of wear. If found, do not use the damaged or worn blade.
Always ensure that alternative airway management methods and equipment are readily
available.
