Maintenance and service:

Replacing the lamp on the F.O. laryngoscope handle:
Proper operation of the laryngoscope is only guaranteed when the appropriate xenon or
LED bulbs are used. Unscrew the head from the handle containing the batteries. Next,
remove the lamp by pulling it out. Clean the glass bulb of the new lamp with alcohol if
necessary. The glass bulb should be clean and free of fingerprints (free of grease). The
EN
new lamp must then be completely inserted into the handle until it touches the back of
the opening.
Fibre optic light guide replacement:
Caution: Please note that the light cannot be replaced on the KaWe MEGALIGHT® blade
with integrated fibre optics! Should the intensity of the emitted light decrease, please
check the following four possible causes: 1. The handle batteries are low and need to be
replaced, or the rechargeable battery must be fully charged. 2. The light source in the
handle head must be cleaned or replaced. 3. Either the input or output of the fibre optic
bundle must be cleaned and polished. 4. The light guide is damaged, for example at the
tip of the fibre optic bundle.
The ends of the light guide must be cleaned with great care. Please use a soft, clean cloth
to carefully clean the optical surface and avoid scratching it. If causes 1, 2 and 3 have
been ruled out, then the light guide may need replacement.
