IMPORTANT INFORMATION PRODUCT INFORMATION GlideScope Core monitors provide the ability to attach a wide range of accessories, allowing for innovative system configurations. With two input connections, the system allows users to switch between different scopes without needing to disconnect and reconnect, or to have two different instruments connected for use simultaneously with picture‑in‑picture (Core 10) or Dual View (Core 15) options.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION GlideScope Core is an all‑in‑one system offering immediate access to the tools you need to visualize the airway. Designed around a 10” or 15” high‑definition, touchscreen monitor and comprehensive workstation, GlideScope Core delivers elevated visibility and improved workflow. For more information on compatible scopes, please see the GlideScope Video Laryngoscopes Operations & Maintenance Manual (part number 0900‑4940) and the GlideScope BFlex Single‑Use Bronchoscopes Operations & Maintenance Manual (part number 0900‑4939), which are available at verathon.com/product‑documentation.
STATEMENT OF INTENDED USE The monitors and workstations are intended to work with video endoscopes, in conjunction with other ancillary equipment, for endoscopic procedures.
ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE When connected to compatible camera units (such as video laryngoscopes and bronchoscopes), the essential performance of the monitor is to support the display of a clear, unobstructed view of the airway and tracheobronchial tree for medical procedures.
ENVIRONMENTS OF INTENDED USE The GlideScope Core system is intended to be used in a Professional Healthcare Environment.
STATEMENT OF PRESCRIPTION Caution: Federal (United States) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. The system should be used only by individuals who have been trained and authorized by a physician or used by healthcare providers who have been trained and authorized by the institution providing patient care.
HIPAA PRIVACY The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) regulations require our customers to monitor and limit the ways in which patients’ confidential information is accessed, utilized, stored, transmitted, and disposed. Our customers are ultimately responsible for ensuring all electronic health information contained within the system is protected. In the course of providing the services to customers, Verathon will remove all electronic protected health information from the system if present.

0900‑5017 REV-05
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. IMPORTANT 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.
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.
