Single-Use One Piece Laryngoscope with Built-In Light Source

NEW & IMPROVED

There are bacteria on 86% of “disinfected” instrument handles in hospitals!

A recent study1 revealed bacteria on 86% of instrument handles. These handles were disinfected and designated ‘ready for use’ in hospital settings. This study demonstrates a clear potential for transmission of pathogens, and highlights a clear risk to both staff and patients.

There are 4.5 hospital infections for every 100 patient admissions and nearly 100,000 deaths annually. (source: CDC)

There are approximately 1.7 million hospital-acquired infections in U.S.

Top 5 Benefits of SURE-SCOPE

Reduce Risk of Cross-Contamination

Revolutionary One Piece Design

Built-In Targeted Light Source

Cost Per Intubation

Entirely Single-Use

Reduce Risk of Cross-Contamination

Problem:A 2009 study published in Anesthesia & Analgesia found 75 percent of laryngoscope handles they tested were positive for bacteria. Even following mandates for cleaning and disinfecting leaves pathogens that can transfer from one patient to the next.

Solution:SURE-SCOPE eliminates the time and expense of reprocessing, reducing the risk of cross-contamination by obsoleting stainless steel devices, reusable light sources, handles, and blades.

Revolutionary One Piece Design

Problem:Most laryngoscope systems require assembly and testing prior to each use. Attachment of a disposable blade and verification of the light source is necessary before every intubation. Reusable handles are exposed to rigorous disinfection and harsh chemicals which compromises the integrity of the blade and light source over time.

Solution:SURE-SCOPE single-use one piece laryngoscope maintains blade integrity. No assembly and no additional parts required. In addition, there is no risk of corrosion at the electrical contact point to reduce the efficiency of the light source.

Built-In Targeted Light Source

Problem:Most laryngoscope light sources burn through batteries or constantly need charging. They can be difficult to focus, making intubations harder. The cleaning and disinfecting process corrodes the electrical contact points causing the light to flicker or fail during intubation.

Solution:Never worry about light source failure again. Each SURE-SCOPE comes with a built-in ultra bright LED light source located at the distal tip of the laryngoscope blade. The SURE-SCOPE light source does not utilize a light pipe so the maximum power of the light source is fully realized. High-powered illumination is achieved without generating any damaging heat.

Cost Per Intubation

Problem:According to a study conducted by Southeast Health, reusable laryngoscopes can cost as much as $27.40 per intubation. Reusable devices require the facility to stock handles and/or blades. Add to that the cost of reprocessing, the units, and powering the light source.

Solution:The one piece design of SURE-SCOPE eliminates the need for additional parts and components like disposable blades or replacement parts/components. SURE-SCOPE is entirely single-use; the facility incurs no additional reprocessing expenses. Medical facilities can cut their cost per intubation to under $10.

Entirely Single-Use

Problem:Reusable parts and components create unnecessary liability. They elevate the risk of cross-contamination and are more likely to fail due to wear and tear. In addition, reusable parts and components add cost. They need to be reprocessed after each use and replaced when broken or misplaced.

Solution:SURE-SCOPE is an entirely single-use device; the facility incurs NOadditional expenses.

Illumination Strength Study

OBP Medical conducted a study comparing the illumination strength of three single-use laryngoscope systems: OBP Medical’s SURE-SCOPE, Competitor A, and Competitor B.

Of the three models, OBP Medical’s SURE-SCOPE offers the brightest light source. The weak illumination strength demonstrated during this study makes both Competitor A’s and B’s product ineffective choices. Of the three products, SURE-SCOPE is clearly the best choice.

The results from OBP Medical’s study are listed on the following slide.

Illumination Strength Study Results

OBP Medical’s SURE-SCOPE: 10,000 LUX

Competitor A: 2,600 – 3,000 LUX

Competitor B: 1,600 – 2,600 LUX

Light source powered by two AA batteries (sold separately). These batteries contain over 30 times the waste of the batteries used in SURE-SCOPE.

Broad spread due to the light pipe connection. Light source powered by two LR1 batteries. These batteries contain over 12 times the waste of the batteries used in SURE-SCOPE.

Light source powered by three alkaline button batteries. These batteries are low voltage and toxic materials per federal E.P.A. guidelines. No light pipe and optimal positioning of the light source ensure the full potential of the illumination strength is realized.

Patient Safety

Patient safety is a primary concern.

• SURE-SCOPE helps to:

Maximize infection control

Maximize cleanliness

Maximize efficiency

Eliminate the risk of cross-contamination

Eliminate the need to monitor sterilization procedures and tracking

Revolutionary Material

Each SURE-SCOPE is made of a reinforced nylon polyarylamide compound, offering exceptional strength and rigidity never before seen in a single-use laryngoscope.

Each SURE-SCOPE blade is validated to support over 40lbs of blade force, 4 times higher than standard intubation requirements*.

*The Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland concluded that approximately 10lbs of force is needed to intubate the average patient.

Conclusion

With the rising cost of healthcare in the spotlight, medical facilities need to utilize the most cost-effective and practical tools available. SURE-SCOPE offers savings and construction that is more efficient and eliminates cross-contamination issues found with laryngoscopes that require reusable parts and components. Add a targeted light source that improves visualization and an ergonomic design for user comfort; it is clear why SURE-SCOPE is the right choice for your healthcare facility.

SURE-SCOPE Batteries

The SURE-SCOPE light source contains modern alkaline batteries.

Alkaline batteries do not contain toxic materials per federal E.P.A. guidelines.

“Button” style AG3 batteries contain only enough chemistry for a single use.

It would take 300 AG3 batteries to equal the chemistry volume of just 1 average alkaline flashlight battery.

* Check EPA guidelines for battery disposal in your state.

SURE-SCOPE Testimonials

“Our physicians like that SURE-SCOPE is plastic so they don’t have to worry about hitting teeth and the light is by far some of the brightest they have worked with.”

“I used SURE-SCOPE today to intubate a morbidly obese patient with a short neck. It was great – light was much better than our metal handles and metal blades; light stayed bright for over 20 minutes. Strong plastic.”
