Tube connection 6b
The tube connection can be used to mount ETT and DLT with an ISO connector during intubation.
Insertion of the aScope 3 7a
Lubricate the insertion cord with a medical grade lubricant when the aScope 3 is inserted into
the patient. If the camera image of the aScope 3 becomes unclear the tip can be cleaned by
gently rubbing the tip against the mucosal wall or remove the aScope 3 and clean the tip.
When inserting the aScope 3 orally, it is recommended to use a mouthpiece to protect the
aScope 3 from being damaged.
Instillation of fluids 7b
Fluids can be instilled through the working channel by inserting a syringe into the working
channel port at the top of the aScope 3. When using a Luer Lock syringe, use the included
introducer. Insert the syringe completely into the working channel port or the introducer and
press the plunger to instill fluid. Make sure you do not apply suction during this process, as this
will direct the instilled fluids into the suction collection system. To ensure that all fluid has left
the channel, flush the channel with 2ml of air.
Aspiration 7c
When a suction system is connected to the suction connector, suction can be applied by
pressing the suction button with the index finger. If the introducer and/or an endoscopic
accessory is placed inside the working channel note that the suction capability will be reduced.
For optimal suction capability it is recommended to remove the introducer or syringe entirely
during suction.
Insertion of endoscopic accessories 7d
Always make sure to select the correct size endoscopic accessory for the aScope 3 (See section
1.2). Inspect the endoscopic accessory before using it. If there is any irregularity in its operation
or external appearance, replace it. Insert the endoscopic accessory into the working channel
port and advance it carefully through the working channel until it can be seen on the aView.
The enclosed introducer can be used to facilitate the insertion of soft accessories such as
microbiology brushes.
Withdrawal of the aScope 3 8
When withdrawing the aScope 3, make sure that the control lever is in the neutral position.
Slowly withdraw the aScope 3 while watching the live image on aView.
