Thank you for choosing an ADC® Satin™ Laryngoscope.
Device Description and Intended Use
A Laryngoscope is a two-part, hand held device consisting of a handle that contains batteries and a de-
tachable blade. Laryngoscopes are designed to provide illumination within the larynx during the process
of performing intubations. This instruction book covers both standard, fiberoptic type and disposable
laryngoscopes. Fiberoptic Laryngoscopes are indicated by an F following the item number / Disposables
are indicated by a D following the item number.
Contraindications
The following are only relative contraindication to tracheal intubation:
1. Severe airway trauma or obstruction that does not permit safe passage of an endotracheal tube.
Emergency cricothyrotomy is indicated in such cases.
2. Cervical spine injury, in which the need for complete immobilization of the cervical spine makes en-
dotracheal intubation difficult.
