MAINTENANCE & SAFETY
PERIODIC INSPECTIONS
In addition to the user performing routine inspections before and after every use, periodic inspections should
be performed to ensure safe and effective operation. It is recommended that an operator familiar with the
instrument perform a full visual inspection of all components at least every three months. The inspector
should check the system for the following:
• External damage to the equipment
• Damage to the power supply or adapter
• Damage to the connectors or cable insulation

ELUTION COMPATIBILITY
For use with GlideScope Titanium reusable blades, Verathon has completed testing of compatibility with a
1% sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) solution with pH 11.0.
The SDS solution is commonly utilized in Europe as an eluting solution to collect residual protein samples
from medical tools or devices that are cleaned after contacting patient tissue. The protein sample solution is
then examined as a verification of the hospital cleaning process.
The testing concluded that 1% SDS solution with pH 11.0 is chemically compatible with the reusable blades
and gives no adverse results when performing repeated 30-minute soaking for 100 cycles.
