To use the device as a laryngoscope, align the notch on the Camera Module with the 

steel pin on the Handle and attach them together (

Figure 2

). An audible “click” may 

be heard when the Camera Module is fitted correctly. Ensure that the Camera Module 

rotates smoothly and locks in the ‘OFF’, ‘BLADE REMOVAL’ and ‘ON’ positions (

Figure 2.1

). 

Check that the laryngoscope powers up in the ‘ON’ position. A bright light should 

appear at the tip of the Camera Module. To preserve battery, store in the ‘OFF’ position.

CAUTION:

 

Do not look directly into the light source of the Camera Module.

Figure 2.1: Lock positions

To use the device as a video laryngoscope, first rotate the connector of the Video 

Viewer outwards (

Figure 3

). With the Handle in one hand, fold back the connector cap 

on its flexible spine from the top of the Handle (

Figure 3.1

). With the other hand,hold the 

Video Viewer firmly and ensure that the convex point on the Video Viewer matches 

the concave point on the Handle (

Figure 3.2

). The fold back connector cap should 

be aligned with the backside of the Video Viewer. Proceed to slot the Video Viewer 

connector into the Handle connector recess, firmly pressing downwards into place, 

until the limit of travel is reached (

Figure 3.3

). To confirm correct attachment rotate 

the Camera Module into the ‘ON’ position, the Video Viewer screen should then turn 

on. If using as a video laryngoscope, the Video Viewer should be attached to the 

laryngoscope before using on a patient.

CAUTION:

 

If an image cannot be seen on the Video Viewer, check that it is correctly 

attached to the Handle.

Avoid applying any pressure on the Video Viewer screen while attaching the devices. 

Take care not to dislodge the connection between the devices at any time.

To fit a new blade the Camera Module needs to lock in the ‘ON’ position. Open the 

blade packaging pouch and without fully removing the blade from the packaging, 

slide it onto the Camera Module (

Figure 3.4

). An audible “click” may be heard when 

the blade is fitted correctly (In the case of the Miller, matching an identical colour 

code between the blade and Camera Module suggests a correct pairing). Proceed 

to remove the blade packaging completely without touching the blade. 

CAUTION:

 

Do not use the blade if the packaging has been opened or damaged. 

Take note to pair the same style of blade and Camera Module, and check that the 

blade is correctly fitted to the Camera Module prior to using on a patient.
