• To be carried out by sterile nurse:
– Remove the inner tube set package and open it.
– Keep the blue Luer lock connector (9) in the sterile area and hand the
tube ends with the spikes (2) to the non-sterile nurse.
– Connect the blue Luer lock connector (9) with the hysteroscope inflow
Luer lock. Open stopcock.
• To be carried out by non-sterile nurse:
– Close the clamps (3) on the inflow tube below the spikes (2).
– Carefully insert the pressure chamber (7) into the lower notch of the in-
flow tube holder (12) until you feel resistance. Insert the pressure cham-
ber (7) only if chamber is not pressurized and make sure not to damage
the membranes of the pressure chamber. Align pressure chamber and in-
flow tube holder using arrows (see Fig. Attach roller wheel tube [} 37]).
– Place the roller wheel tube (6) around the roller wheel (11) and insert the
roller wheel connector (see Fig.Tube set elements [} 36], (10)) into the up-
per notch of the inflow tube holder (12).
• To be carried out by non-sterile nurse:
– When connecting or removing the tube to or from the irrigation fluid
bags, always grasp the spike at the provided handle. Observe aseptic tech-
nique when inserting the spike(s) into the fluid bag(s). The surgeon must
select a distension fluid suitable for the type of procedure.

5.10 Presetting the Intrauterine Pressure
The intrauterine pressure setting can be adjusted while the system is in operation.
The initial default pressure is 70 mmHg. Use the º and » buttons (Fig. Front of ir-
rigation pump unit [} 25]). The pressure setting can be adjusted to between 40 to
150 mmHg in steps of 5 mmHg or by scrolling if the button is pressed longer.
Between two ON/OFF cycles of the device, the previous pressure value will be re-
membered, if it was less or equal to 80 mmHg. If the previous intrauterine pressure
exceeded 80 mmHg, its value will reset to 80 mmHg upon restarting the device.
The intrauterine pressure is shown on the intrauterine pressure display (2).
If when scrolling with the º button (Fig. Front of irrigation pump unit [} 25]) the
safety threshold of 100 mmHg is reached, the text message Safety Threshold is dis-
played accompanied by an audible warning signal. After this you could proceed
with the pressure setting using the º button again to set higher values up to
100 mmHg.
