Device Purpose

Backflow
Body secretions or contaminated gas may backflow into the device through the
insufflation tube if
• a filter is not used,
• the actual pressure is higher than the nominal pressure or
• the automatic venting valve is activated.
WARNING!
Gas flow
A high gas flow can occur due to large leaks within the surgical system or instru-
ment. This can result in a false actual pressure reading, which in turn may endan-
ger the patient. In case of a disrupted gas flow, you should therefore inspect
device, tube, and instruments immediately. Surgical applications should be car-
ried out with a gas flow of 4-10 l/min. An even lower gas flow is recommended
for diagnostic purposes. It is recommended to perform endoscopies with the
lowest gas flow possible.
WARNING!
Keep filled CO2 bottle on hand
Always keep a filled CO2 bottle on hand ready for replacement. This avoids hav-
ing to interrupt surgery due to a lack of insufflation gas (see chapter 4.1.1 Con-
necting a Gas Bottle).
WARNING!
Contamination
Do not use device and/or accessories if signs of contamination are detected.
Make sure the device or/and accessories can no longer be operated until a qual-
ified service technician conducts the appropriate tests and repairs.
WARNING!
Fatigue symptoms
When there is a high level of CO consumption, you should make sure to supply
2
the operating area with enough fresh air, since an increasing CO level in the air
2
can cause the medical personnel to suffer fatigue symptoms, an inability to con-
centrate, unconsciousness, or even death.
WARNING!
The venting rate of the automatic venting system is limited. Always monitor the
actual pressure when using additional insufflation sources.
WARNING!
Contaminated filter
Replace a contaminated filter immediately during surgery to ensure unhindered
gas flow.
WARNING!
Connecting the tube
Always use the proper tube set for the device. The tube outlet may only be con-
