Please note that the use of a scalpel or any sharp blade prior to
performing Cricothyroidotomy on the AirSim Standard, Multi or Bronchi
is NOT required. Doing so may damage the airway material in the area of
the preformed pinhole and will invalidate the warranty. The use of a
scalpel CAN be used on the AirSim Advance Crico model.

accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and at the proper dilution.

not to damage the material. Extra care must be taken when cleaning around
the vocal cords.
Thoroughly rinse the airway in warm flowing tap water to remove cleaning
residues. Carefully inspect the device to ensure that all visible foreign matter
has been removed.
