NOTE!
The pump's software automatically detects whether the container scale and bag
scale are connected or only the container scale.
WARNING!
Scale error
Ensure that nothing weighs down the scale during system start-up. Doing so
may result in an inaccurate deficit value.
WARNING!
Fluid deficit
The fluid left in the patient must be monitored. The deficit is the total amount of
fluid left in the patient or unaccounted for otherwise. Take notice of the mea-
surement tolerance of the system (see Chapter 11, Technical Data). Estimating
the fluid volume remaining in the patient is the physician's responsibility.
NOTE!
The greater the consumption of irrigation fluid, the greater the deviation be-
tween the actual and the displayed deficit (see "Technical Data," deficit accura-
cy: ± 6%).
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
supported by the system.
Try to collect all the fluid running out of the uterine cavity during the procedure
to achieve the most exact deficit value possible.
The container scale can be loaded with a weight of up to 25 kg (55 lbs). The max-
imum load of the bag scale is 12 kg (27 lbs). If the scales are loaded beyond these
