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.

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.
