Cautions: Reprocessing
CAUTION
QuickConnect Cable Only: For information on the handling and disposing of recommended
reprocessing solutions, please refer to the solution manufacturer's instructions.
CAUTION
Risk of permanent equipment damage. This product is sensitive to heat, which causes damage to the
electronics. Do not expose the system to temperatures above 45°C (113°F), and do not use autoclaves
or pasteurizers. Use of such methods to clean or disinfect the system causes permanent device
damage and voids the warranty. For a list of approved cleaning procedures and products, see the
GlideScope Products Reprocessing Manual (part number 0900‑5032).
Cautions: Electrical
CAUTION
Medical electrical equipment requires special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) and must be installed and operated according to the instructions in this manual. For more
information, see the Electromagnetic Compatibility section.
Avoid using the GlideScope system adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked
use is necessary, observe the system to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be
used.
This device can radiate radio frequency energy and is highly unlikely to cause harmful interference
with other devices in the vicinity. There is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. Evidence of interference may include degradation of performance in this device or other
devices when operated simultaneously. If this occurs, try to correct the interference and restore optimal
image quality by using the following measures:
• Turn devices on and off in the vicinity to determine the source of interference
• Reorient or relocate this device or other devices
• Increase the separation between devices
• Power off and on the monitor if the image quality is not optimal after removal of the
interference
• Connect the device to an outlet on a circuit different than the other device(s)
• Eliminate or reduce EMI with technical solutions (such as shielding)
• Purchase medical devices that comply with IEC 60601‑1‑2 EMC standards
Be aware that portable and mobile radio frequency communications equipment (cellular phones, etc.)
may affect medical electrical equipment; take appropriate precautions during operation.
