4. Use of aScope 3
Numbers in gray circles below refer to illustrations on page 2.
4.1. Preparation and Inspection of aScope 3
Visual inspection of the aScope 3 1
Check that the pouch seal is intact. 1a
1.
2.
Make sure to remove the protective elements from the handle and from the insertion cord. 1b
3.
Check that there are no impurities or damage on the product such as rough surfaces,
sharp edges or protrusions which may harm the patient. 1c
Refer to the aView Instruction for Use for preparation and inspection of the aView monitor 2
Inspection of the Image
1.
Connect aScope 3 to the aView by plugging the white aScope 3 connector with blue arrow
into the corresponding blue female connector on the aView. Please be careful to align the
arrows when inserting the aScope 3 connector into the aView monitor. 3
2.
Verify that a live video image appears on the screen by pointing the distal end of aScope 3
towards an object, e.g. the palm of your hand. 4
3.
Adjust the image preferences on the aView if necessary (please refer to the aView
Instruction for Use).
4.
If the object cannot be seen clearly, wipe the lens at the distal end using a sterile cloth.
Preparation of aScope 3
1.
Carefully slide the bending control lever forwards and backwards to bend the bending section
as much as possible. Then slide the bending lever slowly to its neutral position. Confirm that
the bending section functions smoothly and correctly and returns to a neutral position. 5a
2.
Using a syringe insert 2ml of sterile water into the working channel port (if applying a Luer
Lock syringe use the enclosed introducer). Press the plunger, ensure that there are no
leaks, and that water is emitted from the distal end. 5b
If applicable, prepare the suction equipment according to the supplier's manual. 5c
3.
Connect the suctioning tube to the suction connector and press the suction button to
check that suction is applied.
4.
If applicable, verify that endoscopic accessory of appropriate size can be passed through
the working channel without resistance. The enclosed introducer can be used to facilitate
the insertion of soft accessories such as microbiology brushes. 5d
5.
If applicable, verify that endotracheal tubes and double lumen tubes are compatible with
aScope 3 before starting the procedure.
4.2. Operating the aScope 3
Holding the aScope 3 and manipulating the tip 6a
The handle of the aScope 3 can be held in either hand. The hand that is not holding the aScope 3
can be used to advance the insertion cord into the patient's mouth or nose.
Use the thumb to move the control lever and the index finger to operate the suction button.
The control lever is used to flex and extend the tip of the aScope 3 in the vertical plan. Moving
the control lever downward will make the tip bend anteriorly (flexion). Moving it upward will
make the tip bend posteriorly (extension). The insertion cord should be held as straight as
possible at all times in order to secure an optimal tip bending angle.
