according to the instructions in

3. If you need to deliver suction through the working channel of the bronchoscope, connect a suction line
to the suction port.

Note: The internal diameter of the suction tubing should be between 6.0 and 7.0 mm, inclusively.
4. Press the
Power
button . The video monitor turns on.
Note: If the GlideScope Video Monitor locks up, becomes unresponsive for any reason, or does not show
an image from the bronchoscope, press and hold the Power button for 10 seconds to reboot the system.
5. Ensure that the battery is sufficiently charged. If necessary, connect the monitor directly to power.
6. On the monitor screen, verify that the image displayed is from the bronchoscope camera.
7. If needed, allow the GlideScope anti‑fog feature to warm up for 30–120 seconds.
Note: The time required for the anti‑fog feature to be fully optimized varies according to the ambient
temperature and humidity where the equipment is being stored or used. If the bronchoscope is stored in
cold conditions, additional warming time may be required for optimal performance of the anti‑fog feature.
