WARNING!
Changing fluid bags
Fluid bags should be changed quickly to avoid affecting the accuracy of the deficit
calculation. Observe the occurrence of acoustic signals and message to avoid unre-
cognized bag changes during procedure which can affect the displayed deficit
value.
WARNING!
Touching containers and their holders
Touching the containers and their holders as well as vibrations of the balancing
system should be avoided during surgery to prevent false detection of the con-
tainer change and not negatively affect the accuracy of the deficit calculation.
WARNING!
Change of the containers
Containers should be changed quickly to avoid affecting the accuracy of the deficit
calculation.
WARNING!
Serum sodium concentration
It is also necessary to monitor the concentration of sodium in the blood of the pa-
tient to prevent electrolyte disturbances. Monitoring of the concentration of so-
dium in the blood must be performed by the physician and is not performed or sup-
ported by the system.
WARNING!
Idiosyncratic reactions
In rare cases, idiosyncratic reactions including
• intravascular coagulopathy
• allergic reaction including anaphylaxis
may occur while performing a hysteroscopy if a liquid distention medium is used.
WARNING!
Loss of deficit and inflow value
The deficit display value is lost in case of a power loss or "brownout."
WARNING!
Fluid bag and container change during surgery
A fluid bag or container change during surgery is only allowed, if the fluid bag or
container holds at least 0,5 liters of fluid or waste. Otherwise, the deficit value may
be falsified. In this case, the manufacturer recommends manual deficit calculation.
WARNING!
Irrigation fluid bags
The system is only intended for use with flexible fluid bags. Do not use glass con-
tainers as they might break. With rigid containers, fluid cannot flow quickly
enough due to the vacuum being generated inside of the containers. Risk of implo-
sion with rigid containers.
