3.1. Preparation and Inspection
WARNING
Do not use the aScope 3 system if it is damaged in any way or if any part of the functional check described below fails.
CAUTION
The aScope 3 system consists of the parts described in section 2. They may only be replaced by Ambu authorised parts. Failure to comply with this
may reduce safety and efficiency.
Visual inspection of the aScope 3
1. Check that the pouch seal is intact.
WARNING
• Do not use aScope 3 if the product sterilisation barrier or its packaging is damaged.
• Do not use a knife or other sharp instrument to open the pouch or cardboard box.
2. Make sure to remove the protective elements from the handle and from the insertion cord.
3. Check that there are no impurities on the product.
4. Check that there is no evidence of shipping damage or other damage such as rough surfaces,
sharp edges or protrusions which may harm the patient.
Visual inspection and preparation of the aView
CAUTION
• Pay attention to the battery symbol indicator on the aView monitor. Recharge aView when the battery level is low (see section 7.1).
• It is recommended that aView is recharged before every procedure and that a charger be readily available during use.
• Place or hang the aView display on a stable support while in use. Dropping aView could damage it.
• Position the power cord where it is unlikely to be stepped on. Do not place any objects on the power cord.
• If the aScope 3 system is used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment, observe and verify normal operation of the aScope 3
system prior to using it. Consult the tables in Appendix 1 for guidance in placing the aScope 3 system.
1. Check for any damage to the aView cable and power supply (free from wear and tear).
2. Closely examine the aView for any damage.
3. Switch the aView on by pressing the on/off button.
4. Check the battery indicator on the aView. If the time remaining is not sufficient for the procedure – charge the aView.
5. Be sure the power supply is present and working at any time.
6. It is recommended to locate the nearest wall socket before start of the procedure.
7. For instructions on how to use the aView with the mounting bracket, please refer to chapter 7.
Inspection of the Image
1. Connect aScope 3 to the aView by plugging the white aScope™ 3 connector with blue arrow into the corresponding blue
female connector on the aView.
2. Verify that a live video image appears on the screen.
3. Point the distal end of aScope 3 towards an object, e.g. the palm of your hand.
4. Adjust the image preferences on the aView if necessary – please refer to chapter 7 for details.
5. If the object cannot be seen clearly, wipe the lens at the distal end using a clean cloth.
