WARNING
AVL video laryngoscopes are equipped with the Reveal™ anti‑fog feature, which reduces camera fogging
during the intubation procedure. To fully optimize the feature, you must allow the video laryngoscope to
warm up for 30‑120 seconds prior to use, depending on the ambient temperature and humidity of the
clinical environment. Full optimization of the anti‑fog feature is not necessary in order to use the device; if
desired, you may begin the intubation procedure immediately.
Note: If the video laryngoscope is stored in cold conditions, additional warming time may be required for
optimal performance of the anti‑fog feature.
Using the system consists of the following procedures:
• Procedure 1: Connect the Video Cable to the Monitor
• Procedure 2: Insert the Video Baton into the Stat (Single‑Use Only)
• Procedure 3: Prepare the GlideScope System
• Procedure 4: Intubate Using a Video Baton and Stat
• Procedure 5: Intubate Using the GlideScope Direct
• Procedure 6: Use the Record & Snapshot Features (Optional)
• Procedure 7: Use the Playback Feature (Optional)
