- Quick Guide for intubation and single lung ventilation
The aScope
TM
3 Slim, aScope
TM
3 Regular and aScope
TM
3
Large are the perfect choice for flexible fibreoptic intubation
as they are ready to use whenever you need them. The
single–use and ready–to–go concept simplifies flexible
fibreoptic intubation and improves patient safety.
aScope
TM
3 Slim, aScope
TM
3 Regular, and aScope
TM
3 Large are
sterile and single-use flexible scopes with a 1.2 mm, 2.2 mm
or 2.8 mm working channel respectively.
For intubation the aScope
TM
3 Slim can be used with ET tubes
size 5 and up, aScope
TM
3 Regular with ET tubes size 6 and up
and aScope
TM
3 Large with ET tubes size 7 and up.
For single lung ventilation aScope 3 Slim can be passed
through DLT’s of FR 37 or greater or BB of sizes 5–9.
•
Ensure that the selected ET tube
or DLT/BB is compatible with the
aScope
TM
3 chosen.
•
Lubricate the insertion cord with
a medical grade lubricant to
ensure the lowest possible friction.
Do not get lubrication or any other
contaminant on the tip of the
aScope
TM
3.
•
Attach the suction tube to the suction
connector and ensure that the
suction works when pressing the
suction button
•
Fluids can be instilled through the
working channel by inserting a
syringe into the working channel
port at the top of the aScope
TM
3.
When using a Luer Lock syringe,
use the included introducer.
•
If you are using a preformed ET
tube unbend it before inserting
the cord of the aScope
TM
3 through it.
•
Antifogging agent is not required
with this device.
•
Confirm that the bending section
functions smoothly and correctly by
carefully sliding the bending control
lever forward and backward in each
direction.
•
Confirm that the bending section
returns to a straight position.
•
Connect the aScope
TM
3 to the
aView
TM
and verify that a live video
image appears on the screen.
•
Always have an additional aScope
