5 Installation and commissioning
5.1 Visual and functional test
Visual inspection
The medical device must be inspected for completeness, damage and integrity before and
after every use. Tools such as a magnifying glass may be necessary to carry out the
inspections.
Missing components, surface changes or other damage to the medical device limit its life span
and may mean that the device can no longer be used for its intended purpose.
Check the instrument for:
– Mechanical damage and changes, for example, sharp edges, burred edges, rough
surfaces, protruding and bent parts (example: Fig. 1)
1
– Signs of rust or corrosion
– Damage to the coating
– Complete and intact seals (that are not cracked, porous or swollen) and joints
– Complete, intact and securely positioned telescope and lens systems, e.g. with a
magnifying glass (example: Fig. 2). In the example below (Fig. 3), the covering glass and
the lens are missing.

The lithium ion battery can be used for approx. 1 hour when fully charged.
WARNING
Low battery
If the charge status symbol flashes red, the charge of the C-MAC® PM is too low. In this state,
it will only function for another 10 minutes.

status symbol flashes red at the latest.
For the C-MAC® PM there is a specially designed bag 8402YE available, which can be
ordered as an option (see chapter 15.1, Accessories [34]). The C-MAC® PM is also
included in a set which includes several different C-MAC® video laryngoscopes. The article
number is 8400B "Intubation Set -C22-, Model ULM".

6 Application
6.1 Function keys for the video laryngoscope
Video recording: When the function key "Video recording" (4) is pressed, the C-MAC® video
laryngoscope saves a video stream on the SD memory card incorporated in the connected
Monitor 8403 ZX. Pressing the key a second time stops the recording.
The video stream can only be viewed on a PC if an MPEG 4-codec is installed on the PC.
Single image capture: When the function key "Single image capture" (5) is pressed, the current
image on the monitor is saved on the SD memory card incorporated in the connected Monitor
8403 ZX.
6.2 Monitor function keys
The monitor is equipped with 4 softkeys that can be used to activate several other functions.
A more detailed description of the functions can be found in the instructions for use for the
monitor "C-MAC® Monitor 8403 ZX" (Art. No. 96076008D).
6.3 Insertion of an oxygen or suction catheter (only with
8401 AX/BX/HX)
If a blade with oxygen or suction catheter guide is used, the probe/catheter is advanced over
the guide until visibility in the image is guaranteed.
When using the blade 8401 AX, the catheters 14 Fr. and 16 Fr. can be used. When using the
blades 8401 HX and 8401 BX, catheters 16 Fr. and 18 Fr. can be used.
