INTRODUCTION
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The GlideScope Go system features a small handheld monitor that can use either
GlideScope Spectrum video laryngoscopes or GlideScope GVL® Stats.
GlideScope Spectrum video laryngoscopes are durable, single‑use plastic blades that must
be disposed of after one use. Single‑use blades are identified by an S in their name, such as
LoPro S4. These blades incorporate the following technologies:
• Dynamic Light Control™—Optimizes image brightness and clarity.
• Ambient Light Reduction™— Diminishes excess reflected light to further improve
image quality.
GVL Stats are durable, transparent, single‑use laryngoscope shells that fit over a flexible,
reusable stalk called a video baton. The Stats contain no active components, so waste is
kept to a minimum. Although they are single‑use devices, they do not have an S in their
names.

mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and T V broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically
with accuracy. To assess the elec tromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site
survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the system is used exceeds
the applicable RF compliance level above, the system should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal
performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re ‑orienting or relocating the system.
b. Over the frequency range 150kHz to 80MHz, field strengths should be less than 3V/m.
