3-3 Use

Caution
Thoroughly inspect the device before each use. Check the
function of the device and visually inspect optics for moisture or
contamination. Do not drop the device or subject it to sudden
impact. Refer to section 5,
damage to the device.
Caution
Never insert the rigid Laryngostroboscope in water or any other
substance or agent with a temperature greater than 150 ºF (65
ºC). Hot beads can damage the rigid Laryngostroboscope and
should not be used for anti-fogging.
Note The optimal working distance from the distal window for
visual use of this rigid Laryngostroboscope is 5 to 50 mm.
Note The angle of entry with the 70-degree rigid
Laryngostroboscope is markedly different from the 90-degree
rigid Laryngostroboscope to which you may be accustomed.
Instead of the rigid Laryngostroboscope pointing upward in the
patient's mouth, the 70-degree rigid Laryngostroboscope angles
downward to allow a closer view of the vocal fold.
Warning
Although complications resulting from use of a rigid
Laryngostroboscope for viewing the larynx are extremely rare,
the following risks are possible:
•
Laryngospasm.
•
Blood pressure elevation during procedure.
•
Bleeding as a result of injury caused by improper scoping
procedure.
•
Adverse reaction to anesthetic (if used to prevent gagging).
