and handles.
Fiber optic ADC ® Satin™ Laryngoscopes and Disposable Laryngoscope blades conform to current
ASTM F1195, ISO 7376-1, and ISO 7376-3 standards. They are compatible with virtually all major
brands of fiber optic illumination hook on blades and handles. For easy visual identification, ALL Fiber

Cleaning, Disinfecting, and Sterilization Procedures
ADC ® Satin™ Laryngoscope blades are crafted from rugged stainless steel. ADC ® Disposable Fiberoptic
Laryngoscope blades are crafted from poly-carbonate, and are for single use only and should not be
cleaned or sterilized. Reusable handles are machined from chrome-plated brass or anodized aluminum.
To ensure maximum life and optimum performance, the following instructions should be strictly adhered
to. Disposable handles are made of ABS, and are for single use only and should not be cleaned or ster-
ilized.
Cleaning Procedure (all reusable models): Almost immediately after use, Laryngoscope Blades
should be cleaned to prevent blood, saliva etc. residues from drying. On Conventional blades, the lamp
socket and wires are an integral part of the blade for cleaning and replacement.
WARNING: Ultrasonic cleaning is not recommended.
Disinfection/Sterilization Warnings for All Laryngoscope Blades
CAUTION: ADC ® laryngoscope blades do not come sterilized. The Sterrad process is NOT to be used
with disposable fiberoptic blades or fiberoptic blades.
WARNING: Flash autoclaving and hot air sterilization are not recommended, these processes will dam-
age the instrument. The repeated high temperature and changes in temperature caused by autoclaving
will shorten the life of all laryngoscope products.
WARNING: Do not immerse blades in Bleach, Betadine, or peroxide solutions. Doing so will severely
damage the instrument. Also, avoid metal to metal contact on non-disposable blades.
Disinfection/Sterilization Warnings for All Battery Handles:
CAUTION: Do not allow excess fluid to seep into electrical contact. Be sure that the top and bottom of
the battery handle are secure before use. Poor maintenance of this device or failure to follow the warnings
in this instruction booklet could result in device failure and/or patient injury.
Repair/Maintenance
Battery Replacement: (Reuseable Models)
