INTRODUCTION
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The GlideScope Go system features a small handheld monitor that can use either
GlideScope Spectrum video laryngoscopes or GlideScope GVL Stats.
GlideScope Spectrum video laryngoscopes are durable, single‑use plastic blades that must
be disposed of after one use. Single‑use blades are identified by an S in their name, such as
LoPro S4. These blades incorporate the following technologies:
• Dynamic Light Control—Optimizes image brightness and clarity.
• Ambient Light Reduction—Diminishes excess reflected light to further improve image
quality.
GVL Stats are durable, transparent, single‑use laryngoscope shells that fit over a flexible,
reusable stalk called a video baton. The Stats contain no active components, so waste is
kept to a minimum. Although they are single‑use devices, they do not have an S in their
names.
