equipment does cause harmful interference with other devices, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving device
Increase the separation between equipment
Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
other device(s) is/are connected
Consult the manufacturer or field service technician.

II. INSTALLATION
2.1 Initial Inspection
Unpack the GlideScope® video intubation system upon receipt and inspect the unit for
any obvious physical damage that may have occurred during shipment. It is
recommended that a qualified biomedical engineer or other professional thoroughly
familiar with electronic medical devices perform this inspection. If the unit is damaged,
notify the carrier and your Saturn Biomedical representative immediately. If the initial
inspection results are satisfactory, a functional check should be performed.
2.2 Functional Check
The unit shall produce the results explained in the following steps exactly as indicated.
Failure to do so indicates that the device is not to be used until necessary repairs are
made.
1. Connect the power plug to the power entry module on the bottom of the
control unit and secure the cord with the wire clip. Plug the other end of the
power supply cord into a properly polarized and grounded power source
whose voltage and frequency characteristics are compatible with those listed
on the nameplate of the unit.
2. Connect the video cable to the bottom, front, right of the control unit. Insert
the other end of the cable into the GlideScope® video laryngoscope and place
the GlideScope® in the cradle on the side of the control unit.
3. Turn on the unit by pressing the POWER button and observe the view from
the GlideScope®. Note that there should be a small portion of the upper left
hand corner and the top of the screen that will be black. The black image is a
section of the GlideScope® blade. This view acts as a frame of reference
during the intubation and assures that the orientation of the image is correct in
the monitor.
