Safety Information - KaWe F. O. Mode D'emploi

Safety information:

Only use KaWe brand laryngoscope handles and lights.
Single-use blades and handles are only intended for one single use and must
therefore be disposed of immediately after being used on a patient!
Also refer to the user's manual for rechargeable batteries and chargers!
Risk of danger and information about possible hazards:
Risk of injury to anatomical structures such as the mucus membranes, lips, teeth, Adam's
apple, vocal cords and epiglottis.
In order to prevent infection resulting from patient cross-contamination, the
laryngoscope blades and handles are only to be used after they have been professionally
cleaned and or disinfected.
This product is not to be used near strong magnetic fields (such as MRI machines).
The lights in these laryngoscopes can, in rare cases cause heat-related irritation on the
mucous membranes.
Frequent use for intubation can cause the lamp to become loose and therefore result in
intermittent light supply failure. Therefore, check the lamp before each use to make sure
that the bulb is firmly connected!
Operating instructions:
Instrument preparation measures: 1. Perform a visual inspection of all laryngoscope
parts including batteries and rechargeable batteries for damage, impurities and
compatibility. 2. Assemble all instrument parts and check for proper operation (light and
mechanical operation). The laryngoscope may only be used on a patient after these
measures have been completed and these tests have been successfully passed.
Single-use blade: before use, disinfect with a suitable cleaning agent.
