Fiber Optic Light Guide Replacement
1) Loosen the locking screw with a screwdriver. (Note: This screw is
NOT designed to be completely removed.
This prevents the screw from falling out while the laryngoscope is in
use. DO NOT attempt to remove this screw from the laryngoscope
blade.)
2) Pull out the green base of the fiberoptic bundle and slide out the
light guide (See Figure 4). (Note: The fiberoptic bundle is tightly fitted
and may be difficult to remove.)
3) Insert new fiberoptic bundle by reversing the above steps.
4) Tighten the locking screw, ensuring that the fiberoptic bundle is securely attached to the laryngoscope
blade.
Test Procedures
Laryngoscope blades and handles should always be tested after cleaning/disinfecting/sterilization, and
prior to use. To test, connect the laryngoscope blade to handle and push blade to ON position. If the unit
fails to light or flickers, check the lamp for a secure connection, batteries, and electrical contacts. Be sure
to have adequate supplies of replacement bulbs and batteries.
Caps on battery handle should be secure before use. If they are not, it could cause the blade
to move out of position. Laryngoscopes should be visually inspected for wear or aging prior to
use and after long storage periods. It is strongly recommended that back-up laryngoscopes are
