1. Standard Insufflation Mode: Traditional insufflation with a Single Lumen Fil-
tered Tube Set and conventional cannula.
2. Smoke Evacuation Mode: Traditional insufflation and smoke evacuation with
a Bifurcated Smoke Evac Filtered Tube Set for two conventional cannulas.
3. AirSeal Mode: Insufflation with Tri-Lumen Filtered Tube Set and AirSeal® can-
nula.

Level 1 -> 5 l/min
Level 2 -> 20 l/min
Level 3 -> 40 l/min
• To set the flow rate, press the key (1), (3) or (4).
