Function Test
WARNING!
Function test
The function test must be performed prior to each device use.
You need the following for the function test:
• Aquilex® Fluid Control System inflow tube set
• Fluid bag containing at least 1.5 l of fluid (to prevent the bag from running
empty during the test procedure)
• Measuring cup with marked scale (1 liter)
• Stopwatch
• 1000 g weight (included with each pump)

General Device and Setup Check
1.
Perform a visual check of the devices. Do not use the system in case of obvious
damage.
2.
Check the rollers of the roller wheel to make sure they move easily and
smoothly.
3.
Turn on the device, check whether power switch and indicators and displays
light up accordingly.
4.
The device self-test must run successfully; there are no displayed error mes-
sages (see Chapter Turning On the Aquilex® System [} 31]).
5.
Check that all tube connections (vacuum/inflow/outflow) were made correctly
and are intact.
6.
Check to make sure all tube connections are free of mechanical stresses and
are routed without snagging. The tube connections may not touch the scale.
Non-observance can lead to a distortion of the deficit calculation.
7.
The automatic lumen calibration has been carried out successfully; there are
no displayed error messages (see Chapter Using the Pump during Surgery
[} 38]).
8.
Check for leaking irrigation fluid in the area of the pressure chamber.
9.
Change the height of the Luer lock (blue) of the hysteroscope tube or the con-
nected instrument of the fluid filled tube set related to the height of the pres-
sure sensor and observe the Intrauterine pressure display. The pressure value
must change about several mmHg.
