NOTE!
To stop the pump
The pump continues to operate after automatic lumen calibration is complete. The
pump should be stopped by closing hysteroscope inflow stopcock.
• Open stopcock and guide the hysteroscope with fluid flowing into the uterus.
• Adjust intrauterine pressure setting as necessary to obtain adequate disten-
sion and visualization.
• After the medical procedure, if system operation is complete close the hystero-
scope inflow stopcock.
• Wait until the entire fluid volume from the drape and the tube set has been
collected in both containers.
• Press the Pause/Resume button.
• Note the deficit volume indicated on the deficit display. This is the total fluid
volume that was absorbed by the patient.
WARNING!
System error
Do not use the Aquilex® System if a defect is suspected or detected during the
function test. This also applies to any obvious defects, especially defects on the
power connector or plug and power cord.
WARNING!
Failure of scale connection
If the message "Check Scale Connection" appears, the deficit must be calculated
manually. The pump keeps displaying the last known deficit value determined prior
to the failure of the scale connection.
NOTE!
Change the containers and bags during surgery
It is possible to change the containers and bags during surgery without losing the
previously measured deficit.
5.13 Changing Bags during Surgery
If the replacement of a fluid bag during surgery is necessary follow the steps be-
low:
• Close the clamp of the empty fluid bag.
• Hang a new fluid bag to a bag hook (see Chapter Hanging the Fluid Bags
[} 32]).
• Reconnect the new fluid bag with the inflow tube set.
• Open the clamp of the new bag.
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.
