INTRODUCTION
GLIDESCOPE CORE
The monitor is compatible with the following single‑use and reusable endoscopic devices, which this manual
refers to as scopes:
• Spectrum Single‑Use blades
• Titanium Reusable blades
• Video Baton and Stats
• BFlex Single‑Use Bronchoscopes
The monitor uses scopes and connecting cables, along with optional system components to help facilitate
intubations, endoscopy, or provide convenience to the user.
You may use either single‑use or reusable components, or your facility may elect to provide both. This
manual details how to use the monitor and provides limited information on how to connect scopes. For more
information on compatible scopes, refer to the following manuals or contact Verathon Customer Care:
• GlideScope Video Laryngoscopes Operations & Maintenance Manual (part number 0900‑4940)
• GlideScope BFlex Single‑Use Bronchoscopes Operations & Maintenance Manual (part number 0900‑4939)
Current editions of these manuals are available at verathon.com/product‑documentation.
In this document, unless otherwise noted, the term video cable describes all possible cable configurations for
reusable blades, single‑use blades, and video baton. The term scope describes all possible laryngoscope and
bronchoscope configurations.
SINGLE‑USE OPTIONS
Single‑use Spectrum blades and the video baton 2.0 connect to the monitor through a reusable GlideScope
Core Smart Cable.
Single‑use video laryngoscopes are identified by an S in the blade name (for example, LoPro S4). Video
batons use single‑use GVL
Stats which are offered in a comprehensive range of sizes, allowing clinicians to
meet the particular requirements of patients ranging in size from preterm infants to large adults.
All GlideScope BFlex single‑use bronchoscopes are single‑use components.
All single‑use components must be disposed of after one use.
Single‑use blades in S3 and S4 sizes may also be available in white. These are not part of the Spectrum
Single‑Use system. For more information about the white blades, see the GlideScope Titanium Single‑Use
Operations & Maintenance Manual (part number 0900‑4712) at verathon.com/product‑documentation.
IMPORTANT
REUSABLE OPTIONS
Titanium video laryngoscopes must be cleaned and high‑level disinfected between uses. These connect to
the video monitor through the reusable GlideScope Core Video Cable. Due to their titanium construction,
reusable video laryngoscopes contain a T in the blade name, such as LoPro T4.
