WARNING Reusable Titanium video laryngoscopes are delivered nonsterile and require cleaning and high-level disinfection prior to initial use.
3 Operations & Maintenance Manual: Important Information
WARNING Because the product will likely be contaminated with human blood or body fluids 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. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.
WARNING Cleaning is critical to ensuring the component is ready for disinfection. Failure to properly clean the device could result in a contaminated instrument after completing the disinfection procedure. When cleaning, ensure all foreign matter is removed from the surface of the device. This allows the active ingredients of the chosen disinfection method to reach all the surfaces.
WARNING This product may only be cleaned, disinfected, or sterilized by using the approved processes provided in this manual. Cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization methods listed are recommended by Verathon® based on efficacy or compatibility with component materials.
WARNING Availability of cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization products varies by country, and Verathon is unable to test products in every market. For more information, please contact Verathon Customer Care at 1.800.331.2313 or your local representative. For additional contact information, visit verathon.com/contact-us.
WARNING Ensure that you follow the manufacturer’s instructions for handling or disposing of the cleaning, disinfection, or sterilization solutions provided in this manual.
WARNING Do not reuse, reprocess or resterilize single-use components. Reuse, reprocessing or resterilization may create a risk of contamination of the device, cause patient infection or cross-infection.

WARNING This instrument and related devices may contain mineral oils, batteries, and other environmentally hazardous materials. When the instrument or accessories have reached the end of their useful service life, see the section Device Disposal on page 45. Dispose of used, single-use components as infectious waste.
WARNING Several areas of the video laryngoscope that contact the patient can exceed 41°C (106°F) as part of normal operation: • The first area is the light-emitting area surrounding the camera. When used as indicated, continuous contact with this area is unlikely because, if tissue were to contact this area, the view would be lost and devices would need to be adjusted to regain the airway view. • The second area is the area surrounding the camera, out of view of the camera. Continuous contact with this area is unlikely because the product is typically not held stationary for an extended period of time exceeding 1 minute. If continuous contact is maintained for longer than 1 minute, it is possible to cause thermal damage such as a burn to the mucosal tissue. Note: Typical intubations are less than 1 minute in duration.
WARNING The reusable Titanium video laryngoscope is considered a semi-critical device intended to contact the airway. It must be thoroughly cleaned and undergo high-level disinfection after each use.
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 to the tonsils or soft palate.
WARNING The external monitor must be safety-approved medical equipment.
WARNING Use only a passive-type USB flash drive. Do not use USB drives powered by another external source.
5 Operations & Maintenance Manual: Important Information
WARNING In order to maintain electrical safety, use only the provided, medical-approved power supply.
WARNING To reduce the risk of electrical shock, use only the accessories and peripherals recommended by Verathon®.

INTRODUCTION SINGLE-USE & REUSABLE SYSTEMS The GlideScope Titanium system is available in single-use and reusable configurations. Both configurations feature the same video monitor, the cables and adapters to power the device, and any optional system components that may facilitate intubations or provide convenience to the user. The primary differences between the reusable and single-use systems are the video laryngoscopes and the cables that connect the laryngoscope to the video monitor. Figure 1.
Titanium Single-Use System
Figure 2.
Titanium Reusable System
The single-use system features durable, plastic blades that must be disposed of after one use. It also features the GlideScope Smart Cable-a reusable video cable that connects the single-use blade to the video monitor and contains the electronics that process the video data captured by the blade. Single-use video laryngoscopes are identified by an S in the blade name, such as LoPro S4. The reusable system features a titanium video laryngoscope that must be cleaned and high-level disinfected between uses. The blade is connected to the video monitor via a reusable video cable. Unlike the single-use system, the reusable system video electronics are located within the laryngoscope. Due to their titanium construction, reusable video laryngoscopes contain a T in the blade name, such as LoPro T4. You may use either the single-use or reusable system configurations, or your facility may elect to provide both configurations. This manual details both single-use and reusable system information and notes where the systems differ. In this document, unless otherwise noted, the term video cable describes both the GlideScope Smart Cable for the single-use system and the video cable for the reusable system.
LANGUAGE SETTINGS The GlideScope Titanium video monitor software is available in a variety of languages. To change the language used on your system, you must install a new software version via a USB flash drive. For more information, contact Verathon® Customer Care or your local representative. For contact information, see verathon.com/contact-us.
