Intended Use

The Ambu® aScope™ 2 is intended for use as an aid in the placement of an Endotracheal Tube (ETT) directly or through an intubating laryngeal mask during non- difficult and difficult intubating procedures or for visualization of the airway during Percutaneous Tracheostomy (PT) procedures. The Ambu® aScope™ 2 achieves its purpose by providing the user with a visual confirmation of where the tip of the Ambu® aScope™ 2 is in the human anatomy. The flexible tip of the Ambu® aScope™ 2 allows the user to guide the ETT in the desired direction. The system is for use in a hospital environment. The target population is adults/children that have been clinically evaluated for ETT size 6 or larger.

Device Story

Ambu aScope 2 system comprises a sterile, single-use flexible endoscope and a reusable monitor. Endoscope features a CMOS camera and LED light source at the distal tip; manoeuvrable tip controlled by clinician via handle. System inputs visual data from airway; displays real-time video on monitor. Clinician uses visual feedback to guide ETT placement or visualize airway during percutaneous tracheostomy. Includes Luer connector for topical anesthetic administration or oxygen flow. Monitor can be mounted to IV pole; supports external video recording via cable. Device aids clinicians in airway management; provides visual confirmation of scope tip location; facilitates ETT guidance. Benefits include reduced risk of cross-contamination due to single-use scope design.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only. Performance verified via ISO 8600-1/3/4, ISO 594-1, and ISO 10993-1/5/10. Tests included tip manoeuvrability, bending section endurance, Luer channel functionality (anesthetic delivery and oxygen flow), distal tip temperature (<41°C), monitor imaging performance, cleaning/disinfection endurance (150 cycles), battery capacity, and sterile packaging integrity (ASTM F88). Environmental testing (shock, vibration, drop) confirmed durability.

Technological Characteristics

Flexible endoscope with manoeuvrable tip; CMOS camera and LED light source. Single-use scope; reusable monitor. Luer connector for auxiliary access. Sterilized via Ethylene Oxide. Connectivity: Video Out cable for external recording. Electrical safety per IEC 60601-1/2-18; EMC per IEC 60601-1-2. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993.

Indications for Use

Indicated for adults and children requiring endotracheal tube (ETT) placement (size 6 or larger) or airway visualization during percutaneous tracheostomy. Used in hospital settings for both non-difficult and difficult intubations.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A tracheal tube is a device inserted into a patient's trachea via the nose or mouth and used to maintain an open airway.
