GlideScope System Quick Start
The monitor may be used immediately by plugging it into an AC power source, or by fully charging the battery prior to rst use.
To ensure proper charging, follow these steps
in order:
Make sure the AC power cord is disconnected and the power switch is in the OFF position.
Slide the power switch at the back of the monitor to the ON position.
Plug the monitor into an AC power source:
Insert the female end of the power cord into the port on the back
of the monitor.
The charge status LED will turn orange, indicating that the recharging cycle has begun.
When charging is complete, the status LED will turn green. At this point the unit is fully functional on battery power.
If the AC power cord is inserted before the power switch is in the ON position, the
charge status LED will ash orange.
Connect the video laryngoscope to the monitor.
If using the GVL®:
Connect either end of the video cable to the GVL connector. Connect the video cable to the monitor connector.
GlideScope System Quick Start
If using the Cobalt system:
Connect the video baton
Stat Video
baton
to the monitor as shown in step #3. Then slide a single­use GVL Stat over the video baton.
To detach a GVL Stat from a Cobalt video baton, grasp the base of the video baton and pull rmly.
IMPORTANT! A used GVL Stat is a biohazard and should be disposed of in compliance with local protocols.

Cleaning and Disinfecting the
GlideScope GVL and Cobalt Video Baton
• DONOTexposetotemperaturesabove60oC(140oF).
Do not disinfect using devices such as autoclaves, ultrasonic cleaners or pasteurizers.
• The GlideScope GVL® is a nonsterile, reusable device. It is required that the GlideScope GVL is cleaned and disinfected after every patient use using a High Level Disinfectant method.
• The GlideScope Cobalt video baton is a nonsterile, reusable device. When used as intended, it is protected from direct contact with the patient by the sterile, single-use GVL Stat. Low Level Disinfection is recommended for the video baton after every patient use. High Level Disinfection is required for the GlideScope Cobalt video baton when it is visibly soiled.
Disconnect the GVL or video baton from the monitor.
Place the cleaning cap over the connector as shown.
• During cleaning, the protective cap must be inserted as shown to protect the cable connector.

Wash the GVL or video baton manually to remove all foreign material from the surface of the device.
• Chemical compatibility and disinfection methods are detailed in the user’s manual.
• To clean the exterior of the monitor and the video cables, wipe with IPA (70% isopropyl alcohol) bleach (100ppm) or a mild detergent and water.
• Wipe the cradle with a standard hospital-grade surface cleaning product.
FormoredetailedcleaninginstructionsseetheGlideScopeGVL/CobaltUser’sManual.
Attaching/Detaching the GlideScope
GVL or Cobalt Video Baton
Insert the GVL® or Cobalt video baton cable into the port located on the face of the monitor so that the arrows on the cable and the monitor line up.
For GVL only: Attach the opposite end of the video cable to the port located on the GVL.
Note: When connecting and disconnecting the cable, grasp the connector by the gray sleeve.
Attaching/Detaching the
GlideScope Cobalt Video Baton and Stat
Insert the Cobalt video baton into the sterile, single-use GVL Stat until it clicks into place.
Ensure proper insertion by matching the GlideScope logo on the side of the video
baton and the GVL Stat.
Detach the video baton from the GVL Stat by grasping the base of the video baton and pulling rmly.

The GlideScope 4-Step Technique
Looking directly into the patient’s mouth and with the GlideScope in the left hand, introduce the video laryngoscope into the midline of the oral pharynx.
With the laryngoscope inserted, look to the monitor to identify the epiglottis, then manipulate the scope to obtain the best glottic view.
Looking directly into the patient’s mouth, not at the screen, carefully guide the distal tip of the tube into position near the tip of the laryngoscope.
It is important to look into the mouth at this step to avoid injuring the tonsils or soft palate.
Look to the monitor to complete the intubation; gently rotate or angle the tube to redirect as needed.
GlideScope video laryngoscope systems are CE marked in accordance with the Medical Device Directive, and the Verathon Inc. quality system is Quality System Certied to ISO 13485:2003 standards.
Tips for GlideScope Video Laryngoscope Insertion
• Verathon® recommends inserting the GlideScope video laryngoscope down the midline of the tongue to the epiglottis.
• The GlideScope video laryngoscope may be used to produce a Macintosh indirect lift of the epiglottis or a Miller lift.
• Intubations using GlideScope video laryngoscopes require approximately 0.5–1.5 kg of lifting force.
• Use of an endotracheal tube stylet is recommended. The GlideRite® Rigid Stylet is designed to complement the angle of the GlideScope video laryngoscope to facilitate intubation. A malleable stylet may be used with a 60– 90° angle.
• To aid the passage of the endotracheal tube, withdraw the stylet (approx. 5 cm) while gently advancing the ETT. A 1 cm adjustment (withdrawal) of the laryngoscope also may be benecial to reduce the viewing angle and allow the glottis to drop.

Quick Reference Guide 4
GlideScope® System
If the GlideScope GVL®, video baton, or Stat are stored in cold conditions, additional warming time may be required for optimal performance of the anti-fog feature.

Cleaning, Disinfecti ng, and Maintenance

To ensure patient safety, users should perform a routine inspection of the GlideScope video laryngoscope before every use to ensure that all endoscopic components are free of unintended rough surfaces, sharp edges, protrusions, or cracks.
If inspection reveals any faults in the components, contact Verathon Medical Customer Care or your local GlideScope representative. All repairs must be performed by an authorized Verathon Medical Service Center .
CAUTION: Risk of permanent device damage!
Do not expose GlideScope video laryng o scopes or Cobalt video batons to temperatures above 14 0° F (60°C).
Note: GlideScope GVL and Cobalt video baton laryngoscopes
designed to better withstand vaporized hydrogen peroxide are identified by the metal label.
