Chapter 1: Introduction to Fluent Fluid Management System

This chapter introduces the Fluent Fluid Management System by describing all the components for use.
Introduction to the Fluent Fluid Management System
The Fluent Fluid Management System (FMS) is designed to provide liquid distension of the uterus during diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy
while monitoring the volume differentials between fluid flowing into and out of the uterus. Additionally, the Fluent Fluid Management System
supports the use of the MyoSure Tissue Removal Devices for tissue removal.
Technical application scope of the system
The Fluent Fluid Management System allows intrauterine pressure to be adjusted between 40 and 120 mmHg. The maximum inflow rate is
650 ml/min and is reduced automatically by the pump once the pre-set intrauterine pressure setting has been reached. The system has been
designed to provide both fluid and vacuum systems that maximize the performance of the MyoSure
Suggested distension media
The Fluent Fluid Management System should only be used with Sterile Media. The Fluent Fluid Management System can be used with hypotonic,
electrolyte-free media (e.g., glycine 1.5% and sorbitol 3.0%) and isotonic, electrolyte containing media (e.g., saline 0.9% and Lactated Ringer's).
See "Introduction" section for risks related to Viscosity and the use of a high viscosity media such as Hyskon under "Fluid intake and output
surveillance."
Pressure measuring and regulating
The system operates with a completely non-contact pressure measurement of the irrigation medium. 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.
