If the GlideScope Direct is powered on for an extended period of time, it is possible for the
surface temperature to exceed 41°C (106°F) at the tip of the blade, where the lighting and
camera are located.
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 video monitor screen. Failure to do so
may result in injury, such as to the tonsils or soft palate.
WARNING
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. Always ensure that alternative airway
management methods and equipment are readily available.
