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 screen. Failure to do so may result in
injury, such as to the tonsils or soft palate.
WARNING
The area surrounding the camera in the video laryngoscope can contact the patient and can
exceed 41°C (106°F) as part of normal operation. Patient contact with this area of the blade
during intubation is unlikely, as it would cause an obstruction of the camera view. Do not
maintain continuous contact with this area of the blade for longer than 1 minute; it is possible to
cause thermal damage such as a burn to the mucosal tissue.
WARNING
Warnings: Reprocessing
Because the product may be contaminated with human blood or body uids capable of
transmitting pathogens, all cleaning facilities must be in compliance with (U.S.) OSHA Standard
29 CFR 1910.1030 “Bloodborne Pathogens” or an equivalent standard.
