INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Fully deflate the balloon on the endobronchial blocker.
2. Generously lubricate the bronchoscope, endobronchial
blocker and inside of the endotracheal tube.
3. Place the endobronchial blocker through the blocker port
of the Arndt Multiport Airway Adapter, advancing the
endobronchial blocker until the guide loop is visualized
outside of the airway adapter. (Fig. 1) NOTE: Air leakage
can be controlled by screwing down the cap on the
blocker port.
4. Place the bronchoscope through the diaphragm of the
bronchoscopy port of the Arndt Multiport Airway Adapter,
advancing the bronchoscope until it is outside of the
airway adapter. (Fig. 2)
5. Advance the bronchoscope into and through the
guide loop, coupling the endobronchial blocker to the
bronchoscope. (Fig. 2) NOTE: This may also be performed
within the multiport adapter, the endotracheal tube or
the trachea proper. The guide loop should be adjusted to
loosely approximate the diameter of the bronchoscope.
6. Advance the bronchoscope into the section of the lung to
be blocked. (Fig. 3) NOTE: The blocker guide loop may be
cinched onto the bronchoscope by unscrewing the guide
loop port and pulling back on the snare. The snare may
be affixed in place by inserting syringe or CPAP adapter
into the guide loop port.
