Safety Information
Range of applications: Laryngoscope blades are designed exclusively for
endotracheal intubation.
They should only be used by persons who are trained in endotracheal intubation.
Safety in use: To ensure that the instrument functions correctly, use only laryngoscope handles with a green identification mark. Bring the blade into the normal
working position and check that the light switches on. Do not use the laryngoscope in the presence of a strong magnetic field.
The bulb brightness can reduce during use if the rechargeable battery was not
charged sufficiently before use. We recommend a minimum recharge time of 10
minutes for HEINE rechargeable batteries in HEINE chargers.
After some minutes‘ use the laryngoscope bulb will be hot.
General Safety: To avoid cross-infection, laryngoscopes must be cleaned and
disinfected or sterilized after each use (see instructions for cleaning).
If the laryngoscopes are used regularly, we recommend that replacement bulbs
and batteries as well as spare instruments be kept available for use.
Cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation
The following instructions must be incorporated into the hospital or practice
procedures. National guidelines and regulations (e. g. regarding CJK / vCJK)
and the relevant standards and laws must be put into practise.
These procedures must be carried out by suitably-qualified personnel.
Procedure after use
Remove all traces of contamination immediately after use to avoid incrustation.
Manual cleaning / disinfection
Use only cleaning and disinfection products which are recommended by the
manufacturer for use with fiber optics and plastics. Follow the manufacturers
instructions regarding concentration and duration of use exactly. After this
process, rinse the blade with de-mineralised water and ensure that no deposits
remain on them.
Warning: Use of the wrong cleaning and disinfection products or methods can
cause irreparable damage to the laryngoscope.
Ultrasonic cleaning is not permitted!
Automatic cleaning / disinfection
The laryngoscope can be cleaned or thermally disinfected at up to 93 °C in an
automatic machine. Use only cleaning products, which are recommended for use
with stainless steel and plastic (only SANALON+
ensure that no deposits are left on the product. Use only de-mineralised water
for the final rinse.
Sterilisation
The product can be steam-sterilised with saturated steam at 134 °C for 5
minutes. Sterilisation for 18 minutes is also possible. There may be a reduction
in light transmission with repeated long-term steam sterilisation, particularly if the
steam quality is not ideal. Any function checks should include this parameter.
Gas-Plasma sterilisation is only permitted for HEINE Classic+
