WARNING!
Backflow
Body secretions or contaminated gas can flow counter to the insufflation direc-
tion and block the insufflation filter, if
• 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 procedures should be per-
formed with a gas flow of 4 to 10 l/min. An even lower gas flow is recommended
for diagnostic purposes.

Always keep a filled CO
bottle on hand ready for replacement. This avoids hav-

ing to interrupt surgery due to a lack of insufflation gas (see chapter 4.5.1 Con-
necting a Gas Bottle).
WARNING!
Gas supply
Maintain adequate gas supply at all times.
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.
