For use by trained medical personnel only. Select the correct size by measuring from the center of the incisors to the angle of the jaw. With the patient's head tilted back, open the mouth. Insert the airway with the curve pointing towards the roof of the mouth. Advance it gently until the tip reaches the soft palate, then rotate it 180 degrees. The flange should rest against the patient's lips.

This is a single-use device; do not resterilize or reuse.
