The Smoke Evacuation Mode is intended for standard insufflation with continu-
ous evacuation of smoke from the abdomen as it may occur during the use of
standard ultrasonic, laser and electric energy devices. Use the Bifurcated Smoke
Evac Filtered Tube Set with standard cannulas when working in this mode. The
Smoke Evacuation Mode is automatically activated when the second line of the
bifurcated tube set (blue-colored tube) is attached to an open second cannula.
1. Switch device on.
2. Press the Smoke Evacuation Mode key.

To be carried out by sterile technician:
• Keep the Luer lock connectors of the distal bifurcated tube in the sterile
area and hand the proximal tube end connected to the filter to the non-
proximal end
sterile technician.
• Connect the clear Luer lock connector of the bifurcated tube with the con-

ble during insufflation or while insufflation is stopped.
Setting nominal flow:
The device features three different flow level rates that can be adjusted in the
user menu (see chapter 8 "User Menu" for additional information):
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).
Setting the nominal pressure:
Press the key » or º ((5) or (8)) to set the nominal pressure. Values may
range from 5 to max. 20 mmHg and can be adjusted in increments of 1. The
starting value for the pressure can be set in the user menu within a range of
5 - 15 mmHg.
• Scrolling is enabled by keeping the » or º key depressed longer than 1.5
