TM
VivaSight-SL is a single-use, cuffed PVC
endotracheal tube with an embedded
video imaging device and light source
at its tip, and an integrated single use
video/power cable (adapter cable) with
connector. VivaSight-SL displays images
of the airway onto the Ambu® aView
monitor for as long as the device remains
in place during intubation.
VivaSight-SL has two Murphy eyes
flanking the 45° bevel tip. In addition
to the cuffed inflation tube, VivaSight-
SL has an injection port for imaging
lens cleaning that leads to two lumens
running along the tube's wall and opens
distally to the imaging lens. The port is
used for cleaning the lens with air, saline,
or other appropriate solutions.

harm to or infection of the patient.
• Do not attempt to resterilize any part
of VivaSight-SL.
• Do not connect VivaSight-SL into
any device or outlet other than those

• VivaSight-SL is available in tube
sizes of 7 mm, 7.5 mm and 8 mm
(internal diameter) and should be
used for patients who require one
of these sizes.
• Do not use the injection port for
suctioning the patient.
• The cuff pressure should not exceed
25 cm H
O. Diffusion of a nitrous oxide

mixture, oxygen, or air may either
increase or decrease the cuff pressure.
• Do not use the camera in the event that
inspired gas temperature exceeds 34
°C for an artificially ventilated patient.
• Do not overinflate the cuff. Overinflation
can result in tracheal damage, rupture
of the cuff with subsequent deflation,
or cuff distortion, which may lead to
airway blockage.
• Do not use the tube if the cuff is
damaged. Care must be taken to avoid
