choosing the suitable tracheal tube
size and stylet for each patient.
•
Do not use instruments within the
lumen with diameter larger than
indicated in the following table:
•
When VivaSight-SL is used with
9 Fr EBB (e.g., VivaSight-EB), the
bronchoscope sizes should not be
larger than:
•
Do not use suction catheters
larger than:
•
Do not immerse the tube in liquid.
•
The use of lidocaine topical aerosols
has been associated with the
formation of pinholes in PVC cuffs*.
To prevent cuff leaks, expert clinical
judgment is required when using
lidocaine topical aerosols.
•
Use only water-soluble lubricants.
Other lubricants might affect the cuffs.
•
Avoid applying lubricants to the front
of the camera or the inside of the tube,
due to risk of affecting ventilation.
•
Use a cuff pressure gauge to help
monitor and adjust the cuff pressure.
Inflation of the cuff by “feel” alone or
by using a measured volume of air
is not recommended as resistance is
an unreliable guide during inflation.
•
Syringes, stopcocks, or other devices
should not be left in the inflation
system for an extended period.
•
Do not connect VivaSight-SL to any
external monitor equipment other
than aView.

MRI CONDITIONS
Non-clinical testing has demonstrated
that VivaSight-SL is MRI conditional. It can
be scanned safely under the following
conditions:
•
Static magnetic field of 3 tesla or less.
•
Spatial gradient field of 720 gauss/
cm or less.
•
Maximum specific absorption rate
(SAR) of 4 W/kg for 15 minutes.
Under these conditions, VivaSight-SL
produces a maximum temperature rise
of 0.6 °C.
During MRI scanning, disconnect
VivaSight-SL from the single use adapter
cable and aView
TM
monitor, as it may be
subject to movement caused by the
magnetic field.
MRI image quality may be compromised
if the area of interest is in the exact area
or relatively close to the position of the
camera, VivaSight-SL connector, or cuff
inflation port.
STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION
•
Store and transport VivaSight-SL
at temperatures between 0 °C and
42 °C, relative humidity between
10-100% and atmospheric pressure
between 80-109 kPa.
•
Store in a dry, cool and dark place.
