Channelled video intubation laryngoscope

A channelled video intubation laryngoscope is a hand-held medical device designed to provide a clear video view of the trachea to assist in placing an endotracheal tube during airway management. It features an integrated channel that guides the endotracheal tube directly through the blade, eliminating the need for a separate stylet, and includes a camera and light source at the tip that transmits images to an external display such as a tablet or smartphone.

This category of device is defined as single-use, meaning it is intended for one patient and one procedure before disposal. As a single-use device, it is supplied sterile and is not designed for reprocessing or reuse, which influences its regulatory handling regarding manufacturing controls, labeling, and post-market surveillance requirements.
