Note:
For details on the setup and operation of the hysteroscope, refer to the hysteroscope's Instructions For Use.
Before Moving the Fluent Fluid Management System
Before moving the system from one location to another, make sure the system is in transport position:
• The Power Switch is in the Off (O) position
• The Power Cord is unplugged from the mains outlet and wrapped around the Handle on the
rear of the system
• The Foot Pedal is disconnected from the front of the system and is located in the Storage Basket
on rear of the system
• The wheels are in the unlocked position
• No fluid bags are attached to either the supply or waste hooks
• The rear basket contents weigh less than 10 lbs
Locking and Unlocking the Wheels
All wheels swivel to ease steering and positioning of the system, and have locks, as shown.
To lock the wheels:
Use your foot to touch down on the outer part of each wheel lock to secure the system from rolling,
as shown.
To unlock the wheels:
Use your foot to touch against (inward) the upper part of each wheel lock.
Using the Handle to Move the Fluent Fluid Management System
To move the Fluent Fluid Management System from one location to another, make sure to use only the Handle to push, pull, or steer the system.
WARNING!
Placing excessive force or weight on the IV Hooks can overload the scale connected to the IV Hooks. This can result in an inaccurate fluid deficit
value, causing risk to patient safety.
Caution!
Do not lean on the Handle. Leaning may cause the system to tip.

Positioning the System

It is important to position the Fluent Fluid Management System a minimum of 5 ft (1.5 m) from the MyoSure Tissue Removal Device (TRD) to allow
the Tissue Removal Device drive cable to hang in a large arc with no bends, loops, or kinks.
The ideal placement of the Fluent Fluid Management System is behind the Physician either to the right (if right-handed) or to the left (if left-
handed).
Connecting the Components
Connecting the Power Cord
The Power Cord is connected to the rear of the system and wrapped around the Handle when not in use.
Connect the Power Cord directly into a wall outlet. Make sure the Fluent Fluid Management System is positioned in such a way that the Power
Cord does not obstruct positioning or cause a tripping hazard.
WARNING!
Equipment should be positioned such that the Power Cord can be easily disconnected.
