The Verathon Intubation System (stat sizes: 0, 1, 2, 2.5, 3, and 4) was released to the public in August 2017 as a device used during procedure when one can't breathe on their own. The doctor puts a tube down their throat and into the windpipe to make it easier to get air into and out of the lungs. By connecting this device to its monitor through the designated video cables, medical professionals can get a clear and consistent view of the airway to help enable rapid and accurate intubation.

The Verathon Intubation System varies in weight according to the size of laryngoscope used. The Glidescope Verathon Laryngoscopes are available in the following formats:

• GlideScope Titanium Reusable video laryngoscopes
• GlideScope Spectrum Single-Use video laryngoscopes
• Glidescope AVL Video Batons for use with Single-Use GVL Stats (blades)
• GlideScope Video Baton 2.0 for use with Single-Use GVL Stats (blades)

The titanium reusable video laryngoscope devices consist of durable/lightweight titanium, which help enable low-profile blade designs for optimized maneuverability and working space. The video laryngoscope is connected to the video monitor via a reusable video cable. Titanium reusable video laryngoscopes are available in a uniquely angulated LoPro style, and in Mac style as well.

The Spectrum single-use video laryngoscopes are fully disposable video laryngoscopes that integrate the latest advancements in lighting technology to optimize image brightness and clarity throughout the intubation process. Spectrum single-use video laryngoscopes are connected to cart-based video monitors via a Smart Cable and are available in a uniquely angulated LoPro style, and in Miller and Mac styles as well.

The video batons and stats are reusable video batons that combine a high-resolution, full-color digital camera with an integrated LED light source and reveal anti-fog feature. Video batons are connected to cart-based video monitors via a permanently-integrated video cable (AVL Video Batons), or a separate Smart Cable (Video Baton 2.0). Video batons are available with a choice of two sizes and are designed to be used with single-use GVL Stats. GVL stats are offered in a comprehensive range of sizes, allowing clinicians to meet the particular requirements of a wide range of patients.
