Hanging the Fluid Bags

WARNING!
When performing monopolar hysteroscopic electrosurgery, the distension medi-
um must be electrically non-conductive. Examples include glycine, sorbitol and
mannitol. Isotonic saline irrigation fluids may only be used when performing bi-
polar electrosurgical resective procedures.
Hang one or two fluid bags with distension media appropriate for procedure. (A
MyoSure® procedure utilizes one or two 3000 cc saline bags.)
WARNING!
The system is only intended for use with flexible fluid containers. Do not use
glass containers as they might break. With rigid containers, fluid cannot flow
quickly enough due to the vacuum being generated inside of the containers. Risk
of implosion with rigid containers.
5.6
Using Tube Sets
The Aquilex Fluid Control System is designed for use with disposable inflow and
outflow tube sets.
Each inflow tube set is equipped with tube set recognition technology. An RFID
transponder detects the type of tubing, whether it has been used, and its reliabil-
ity automatically. The pump display indicates this information. This eliminates
accidental reuse of tubing on more than one patient (see Chapter 5.7, Tubing
Overview).
WARNING!
Reprocessing of sterile disposable products
Reuse of inflow or outflow tubing can cause an infection hazard for patients
and/or users as well as impair of product functionality. Contamination and/or
impaired functionality of the system can cause risk of injury, illness, or death. Do
not re-process single-use inflow or outflow tubing.
NOTE!
Comply with hygiene rules when disposing of tubing, fluid collected, and the
canisters.
