PRLog -- The YeescopeMR, a single-piece, entirely disposable laryngoscope, has been cleared by the FDA for use in the MR environment. Tested by an independent laboratory, the YeescopeMR is safe for use with MRI magnets up to 3 Tesla. The YeescopeMR incorporates unique design with MR compatible batteries and LED technology to provide bright, clear illumination.
Also available in the U.S. and on display at the ASA 2015 is the standard Yeescope, which meets or exceeds laryngoscope guidelines published by The Joint Commission. This disposable laryngoscope, now with LED illumination, provides a fresh, convenient, reliable instrument every time for every patient. Routine use of Yeescope eliminates the possibility of cross-contamination from poor sterilization or reuse of the same laryngoscope handle on multiple patients. Cost of the MR or standard Yeescope compares favorably with competing single-patient use devices and significantly less than sterilization of reusable laryngoscopes.
Developed by a practicing anesthesiologist in Australia, the MR and standard Yeescopes have been providing better patient care in global markets for over ten years. Their introduction into the U.S. brings a new standard of performance in disposable laryngoscopes to American physicians.
Both Yeescope disposable laryngoscopes will be on display at the ASA 2015, Booth #2809.
