INTRODUCTION

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The GlideScope Go system features a small handheld monitor that can use either
GlideScope Spectrum video laryngoscopes or GlideScope GVL Stats.
GlideScope Spectrum video laryngoscopes are durable, single-use plastic blades that must
be disposed of after one use. Single-use blades are identified by an S in their name, such as
LoPro S4. These blades incorporate the following technologies:
• Dynamic Light Control—Optimizes image brightness and clarity.
• Ambient Light Reduction—Diminishes excess reflected light to further improve image
quality.
GVL Stats are durable, transparent, single-use laryngoscope shells that fit over a flexible,
reusable stalk called a video baton. The Stats contain no active components, so waste is
kept to a minimum. Although they are single-use devices, they do not have an S in their
names.
