Chapter 6: Replacing Components - Hologic FLUENT Manuel D'utilisation

This chapter provides information and instructions for replacing Fluent Fluid Management System Fluid Bags, Waste Bags, and Tissue Traps.
Depending on the procedure, you may need to replace disposable components. To alert you of changes, the Fluent Fluid Management System IV
Pole and Waste Bag built-in scales prompt you if you need to take action. Changing waste bag without pausing the system may lead to inaccurate
deficit values.
Note:
Prior to replacing any System Component, ensure any error messages are resolved first. Failure to do so may result in inaccurate deficit
readings or final procedure results.
If Fluid or Waste Bag are not changed in accordance with the instructions below, the deficit and/or final procedure results may need to be
calculated manually.
