Insertion of the aScope

Removal procedure
•
The tube connection can be used
to fixate the selected ET tube during
intubation.
•
Keep the cord of the aScope
TM
3 as
straight as possible by holding the
handle of the aScope
TM
3 high. This
increases the range of movement of
the tip and allows you more control.
•
Advance the aScope
TM
3 slowly,
allowing the light intensity of the
camera to re–adjust.
•
If the image is affected by blood or
secretion you can try to clear the
secretion by flicking the bending lever
up and down or dabbing the camera
tip gently against the mucosal wall to
clear the image.
•
If the above fails, remove the aScope
TM
and rub the lens clean with either
gauze or an alcohol swap. Do not be
afraid to exert a little pressure when
doing this. Proceed as above.
