Figure 3.9: Blade removal sequence
The blade is removed by turning the device upside down (
Figure 3.9a
), press the thumb
firmly against the exposed heel of the Camera Module to avoid accidental detachment
during blade removal (
Figure 3.9b
). Rotate and lock the Camera Module into the ‘BLADE
REMOVAL’ position (
Figure 3.9c
). Using the thumb and index finger of the free hand pinch
the ridged grip zones on the open end of the blade and squeeze firmly together (
Figure
3.9d
). Whilst the grip is squeezed a force away from the Handle should be applied to clear
the locking catch on the Camera Module (
Figure 3.9e
). The blade will slide off the Camera
Module (
Figure 3.9f
) without making contact with the contaminated tip of the blade. It
should then be disposed of in accordance with standard departmental practices.
The Video Viewer should be charged when the LED light indicator is flashing, indicating
that there is insufficient charge to use the device correctly and safely. The Video Viewer is
supplied with a charger and 4 international plug adapters (
Figure 4a
). The charging time
for a completely uncharged battery is approximately 2 hours. It is safe to leave the Video
Viewer fitted with the charger indefinitely if desired.
To begin charging, attach the appropriate plug adapter to the charger (
Figure 4b
) and
connect to the mains power supply. Once connected, align the convex point of the Video
Viewer connector with the concave point of the Video Viewer Charger connector to confirm
correct charging direction (
Figure 4c
). Attachment is made easy by the magnetic pins in
the connector of the Video Viewer and Video Viewer Charger (
Figure 4d
).
CAUTION:
Care should be taken during charging operations and limit personnel contact
with any electrical sources.

Charging instructions for the Video Viewer
CAUTION:
The blade is designed with a fail-safe feature and can only be removed when
the Camera Module is in the BLADE REMOVAL position.
The APA
™
Stylet is designed to work with the APA
™
U-DAB by providing an angled shape to
facilitate ETT placements during laryngoscopy. It can be used with ETT up to size 9.0mm
(I.D) or 12.8mm (O.D).
Railroad the stylet through the appropriate ETT, and after obtaining a view of the laryngeal
inlet, advance the ETT into the trachea. The APA
™
stylet is reusable, and should be
cleaned and disinfected before first use and between each patient use similar to the video
laryngoscope, refer to Section 4.
CAUTION:
Do not allow the stylet to protrude beyond the end of the ETT during intubation.
