Cleaning the GlideScope Cobalt AVL System is an important part of
maintaining the system. Make sure that the system is clean before each

General Maintenance Information
Periodic inspections should be performed to ensure safe and effective
operation. It is recommended that a qualified technician perform a full
visual inspection of all components at least every three months.
The technician should check for the following items:
• External damage
• Damage to the power supply
• Connectors and cable insulation integrity
To ensure patient safety, users should perform a routine inspection of
the GlideScope Cobalt AVL Video Baton before every use to ensure that
all endoscopic components are free of unintended rough surfaces, sharp
edges, protrusions or cracks.
If inspection reveals any faults in the components, contact Verathon
Medical Customer Care. All repairs must be performed by an authorized
Verathon Medical Service Center.
