The APA

 Video Viewer (

Figure 1.1

) is a lightweight, high-resolution 86mm (3.5”) LCD 

colour display. Its connector allows attachment to the Handle and Camera Module and 

when connected, switches on automatically to provide a real-time image of the procedure 

being undertaken. The display can be rotated up to 90 degrees depending on user 

requirements. It has an ambient light sensor which adjusts the display’s backlight 

automatically for optimal viewing and power saving.

The Video Viewer has a built-in rechargeable battery which should be charged using 

the APA

 Video Viewer Charger. The LED light indicator on the Video Viewer displays 

the battery and/or charge status. When used as a video laryngoscope, the Video 

Viewer supplies power to the whole device. A fully charged Video Viewer provides up 

to 2.5 hours of intermittent use. 

The Video Viewer function buttons: 

  A TEST button allows the user to test that the battery is operating correctly without 

being connected to any device.

  A (+) and a (-) button which supports maintenance at the authorised service centre, 

if required.

The Video Viewer also has a NTSC video output MMCX jack which displays real-time 

images when connected to a suitable monitor or screen via the APA

 Video Cable. 

To record video the video cable may be connected to a suitable recording device.

The Video Viewer cannot be autoclaved and must be cleaned and disinfected between 

first use and each patient use, refer to Section 4.

The Handle incorporates and is powered by a single replaceable alkaline or lithium 

AA 1.5V battery and the Camera Module incorporates a high intensity light source and 

a miniature camera. When used as a standard laryngoscope, the light source provides 

high intensity white LED illumination for a clear and direct view of the larynx during 

endotracheal intubation. An alkaline AA 1.5V battery will power the laryngoscope for a 

continuous use of minimum 48 hours. (Note: Exact time is dependent on the quality of 

battery used).

When used as a video laryngoscope, the miniature camera in the Camera Module 

projects a high quality image via the Video Viewer’s high resolution display for an 

indirect view of the larynx during endotracheal intubation. When used as a video 

laryngoscope, the power is supplied from the rechargeable battery within the 

Video Viewer.

The Camera Module clips into the Handle, rotates and locks into 3 positions: ‘OFF, 

‘BLADE REMOVAL’ and ‘ON’. To switch on the light source/Video Viewer, rotate the 

Camera Module into the ‘ON’ position. To switch off the device rotate the Camera 

Module into the ‘OFF’ position.

Both the Handle and Camera Module cannot be autoclaved and must be cleaned and 

disinfected between first use and each patient use, refer to Section 4.
