WARNING!
Sterile mediums and accessories
Always work exclusively with sterile substances and mediums, sterile fluids, and
sterile accessories if so indicated.
WARNING!
Replacement device and accessories
In case the device or any of the accessories fail during surgery, a replacement de-
vice and replacement accessories should be kept within close proximity to be
able to finish the operation with the replacement components.
WARNING!
Cleaning the device
Do not sterilize the device.
WARNING!
Device defect
If a device defect is suspected or confirmed, do not use it. Make sure the device
can no longer be used until a qualified service technician conducts the appropri-
ate tests and repairs.
WARNING!
Positioning the patient
Always position the patient lower than the device to prevent body fluids from
leaking into the insufflation tube. Actual pressure may increase and fluid may
penetrate the insufflation tube if the patient is repositioned during surgery. If
this occurs, immediately disconnect the insufflation tube. When the patient is
repositioned onto his or her side, internal tissue may block the insufflation chan-
nel. Always insufflate through the elevated side of the patient.
WARNING!
Removing the insufflation tube
Always disconnect the insufflation tube after ending surgery and before switch-
ing off the device to prevent backflow of bodily fluids. Fluid may penetrate the
insufflation tube whenever you change the gas bottle and/or when you stop the
gas flow during the operation. If this happens, you must immediately disconnect
the insufflation tube from the trocar or from the device.
