Abstract

An intubation system includes an intubation instrument for capturing an image, wherein the intubation instrument has a first interface for providing an image signal representing the captured image, a display device with a second interface for receiving the image signal, wherein the display device is provided and designed to display the image captured by the intubation instrument, and a cable with a third interface at a first end of the cable and with a fourth interface at a second end of the cable. The first, second, third, and fourth interfaces are designed such that the first interface at the intubation instrument is connectable directly to the second interface at the display device and is alternatively connectable directly to the third interface at the cable, and such that the second interface at the display device is connectable directly to the first interface at the intubation instrument and is alternatively connectable directly to the fourth interface at the cable.

Claims (6)

1. A display device for a laryngoscopy system or intubation system, comprising:

a battery supplying power to the display device and the laryngoscopy system or intubation system;

a housing having an image reproduction surface and a rear surface opposite of the image reproduction surface, the image reproduction surface configured to display an image captured by an intubation instrument or a laryngoscope, wherein the rear surface includes a recess configured to receive a peripheral side of the battery so as to seat the battery within the recess;

an interface for coupling the housing to one of the laryngoscope and the intubation instrument, the interface disposed on a bottom surface of the housing; and

a power interface spaced apart from the interface, the power interface disposed on an exterior surface of the rear surface and within the recess, the power interface configured to electrically connect with the battery when the battery is disposed within the recess and an exterior surface of the battery is exposed when the battery is connected to the power interface.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display device is configured to receive an image signal from the laryngoscope or intubation instrument.
