CAUTION!
Accuracy of the deficit
To avoid affecting the accuracy of the deficit calculation ensure that the first step
of the canister change is to disconnect tubing from the full canisters. Reconnect
tubing to the new canisters only if they are already inserted into the scale.
CAUTION!
Combination of AQL-100PBS with AQL-100CBS
The irrigation pump unit AQL-100PBS may only be used with the fluid monitoring
unit AQL-100CBS as only this combination is approved to bear the MET NRTL mark.
CAUTION!
Cleaning the system / Sterilization not allowed
The pump and the cart/scale can be disinfected by wiping off the outer surfaces.
Do not sterilize the pump and the cart/scale.
3.2 Description of the Aquilex® Fluid Control System
The intrauterine pressure can be adjusted on the front of the pump. It can be pre-
set to a range between 40 and 150 mmHg. The maximum inflow rate is 800 ml/
min and is reduced automatically by the pump once the pre-set intrauterine pres-
sure setting has been reached.
The system has been designed to provide both fluid and vacuum systems that max-
imize the performance of tissue removal systems, e.g. MyoSure®.
The Aquilex® Fluid Control System can be used with hypotonic, electrolyte-free me-
dia (e.g., glycine 1.5 % and sorbitol 3.0 %) and isotonic, electrolyte containing media
(e.g., saline 0.9 % and Lactated Ringer's).
The system operates with a completely non-contact pressure measurement of the
irrigation medium. The contact-free pressure measurement is achieved by integrat-
ing the pressure chamber into the tubing system. The pressure chamber transmits
the irrigation fluid pressure to the electronics of the device via a pressure sensor.
The pressure control circuit continuously compares the desired preset intrauterine
pressure with the actual intrauterine pressure. The function of this algorithm is to
maintain the pre-set intrauterine pressure. Check for possible leaks if the pre-set
intrauterine pressure cannot be achieved.
