Note:
Do not attempt to sterilize/disinfect the CoPilot VL
®
+
using Steris
®
Systems that use steam. Do not autoclave.
Doing so will permanently damage the components and will void
the warranty.
These reprocessing instructions refer to procedures for
cleaning and intermediate level disinfection. CoPilot VL
®
+
video handles must be reprocessed prior to first use and
between each use using the following method as outlined in
this document.
The CoPilot VL
®
+ was designed in such a way that the
single-use disposable sheath is the only component that
should come into direct contact with the patient when
used as intended. Dilon Technologies recommends the
development of a policy/routine to decrease the incidence of
cross contamination. This may include exercising care when
handling the video laryngoscope or other medical devices
when there is potential for contamination (i.e., contact with
other bodily fluids or potentially contaminated surfaces).
The CoPilot VL
®
+ must be properly handled, cleaned and
disinfected before use and between uses. To do otherwise
presents an infection-control risk to both medical personnel
and the patient.
