Airseal Mode - Surgiquest AirSeal i.F.S. Instructions D'utilisation

Safety limit:
When wanting to Increase the nominal pressure to > 15 mmHg, the status
line depicts the message Safety Limit:> 15 mmHg. This is where the recom-
mended range for the intra-abdominal pressure ends. Pressing the nominal
pressure key º again does not increase the pressure any further. Release the
key for 2 seconds. Then a value up to 20 mmHg can be set.
CAUTION!
Exceeding this safety limit is to be decided by and the responsibility of the user/
operator.
5. Start insufflation by pressing the START key.
The status line depicts Initial Insufflation. The initial insufflation ends when
the nominal pressure value has been reached for the first time. After the ini-
tial insufflation, the flow rate automatically increases to the nominal gas
flow specified for level 3. The device prompts to connect the second line to en-
able the Smoke Evacuation function.
To enable smoke gas evacuation, connect the blue tube of the bifurcated tube
to a second cannula.
NOTE!
For the safety of the patient, it is advised to start insufflation with a Veress nee-
dle and at the lowest flow rate (level 1, key (1)). Exchange the Veress needle
with a conventional cannula once the nominal pressure is reached and the initial
insufflation phase ends.
6. Stop insufflation by pressing the STOP key.
When working in the Smoke Evacuation Mode, it is possible that body fluids are
extracted from the surgical field over the evacuation line. In order to prevent con-
tamination of the device, these are retained by the fluid trap of the Smoke Evac-
uation tube set filter component. The capacity of the fluid trap is limited. A
warning message will be emitted if the fill level LOW is reached. Cannula and tub-
ing placement should be checked to make sure no more fluid enters the filter. In-
sufflation can be continued with full functionality. If fluid level HIGH is reached,
the Smoke Evacuation function will shut down but insufflation can still be con-
tinued.

AirSeal Mode

The AirSeal Mode is intended to establish and maintain a pathway of entry for
laparoendoscopic instruments to the field of surgery within laparoscopic proce-
dures. The abdominal pressure is maintained by an air barrier within the cannula
system that allows valve-free access to the body cavity and that does not collapse
when introducing instruments.
WARNING!
Please read the respective instruction manual before using the AirSeal® cannula.
