VIDEO LARYNGOSCOPE
US Patent No 6,843,769
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
REF: A011, A021

INTENDED USE AND DESCRIPTION

Airtraq SP is a video laryngoscope to facilitate intubation. It allows
visualization of the airway during intubation. It minimizes hyper
extension of the neck and permits intubating from virtually any
position. ET Tube is loaded into the lateral channel of the device
and when advanced it is guided towards the glottis of the patient.
It is a SINGLE USE medical device provided clean and ready to use.
To perform its purpose Airtraq SP must have attached to its
proximal end, either
• its eyecup or
• the Wi-Fi Camera (Ref A-390) offered by the manufacturer,
attached after removing its eyecup, or
• an Endoscopic camera attached to the eyecup.

USE INSIDE OF THE MRI ENVIRONMENT

This medical device was determined to be MR conditional
according to the terminology specified by ASTM Standard
Practice for Marking Medical Devices and Other Items for Safety
in the Magnetic Resonance Environment.
The device can be used in the MRI environment according to the
following conditions:
• Static magnetic field of 3-Tesla or less
• Spatial gradient magnetic field of 720-Gauss/cm or less
IMPORTANT NOTE: The device is intended for use inside of the
MRI environment (e.g., in the MR system room). It will not be
utilized directly inside of the MR system (e.g., inside of the bore of
the scanner), during its operation (i.e., scanning). As such, the
assessment of magnetic field interactions for the device specifically
involved evaluations of translational attraction in relation to
exposure to a 3-Tesla MR system, only.

TECHNIQUE FOR USING THE AIRTRAQ SP
I. PREPARATION & TEST
• Select the appropriate size Airtraq SP based on the size ETT to be
used.
• Press orange switch to Turn On the light. Airtraq SP automatica-
lly Turns On when attaching A390 Wi-Fi Camera.
• The anti-fog system is immediately activated upon switching
the light.
• Lubricate the ETT and place it into the lateral channel of the
Airtraq SP without contacting the lens.
• Align the tip of the ETT with the end of the lateral channel.
II. AIRTRAQ SP PLACEMENT (Fig. 1)
• Insert the Airtraq SP into the
midline of the patient's mouth.
Take special care to avoid
pushing the tongue inside the
oropharynx.
• Before it reaches the vertical
plane, begin looking to identify
airway structures.
• Continue insertion until
epiglottis is identified. Place the
tip of the Airtraq SP in the
vallecula. Alternatively, the tip can
be placed under the epiglottis,
lifting it out of the way.
• Gently lift up the Airtraq SP to
expose the vocal cords.

III. ETT INSERTION (Fig. 2)

• Align the vocal cords in the
center of the visual field by
gently moving the tip of the
Airtraq SP as needed.
• Gently advance the ETT in the
lateral channel. If needed rotate
counterclockwise ET tube inside
the channel (corkscrew maneou-
ver). Check insertion depth.
• Inflate the ETT cuff as normal and
check for proper positioning.
IV. AIRTRAQ SP REMOVAL (Fig. 3)
• Separate the ETT from the
Airtraq SP by pulling it laterally
from the ETT, while holding the
ETT in position.
• Remove the Airtraq SP from the
patient´s airway following the
midline.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

• Do not sterilize. Do not submerge in liquids.
• Do not incinerate unless batteries have been removed.
• Use only with non-flammable anesthetics.
