Hanging The Fluid Bags; Using Tube Sets - Hologic Aquilex Instructions D'utilisation

power plug and power cord.

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 filled with distension fluid appropriate for procedure.
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.

Using Tube Sets

The Aquilex Fluid Control System is designed for use with sterile disposable in-
flow and outflow tube sets.
Each inflow tube set is equipped with tube set recognition technology. An RFID
transponder detects the type of tube, whether it has been used, and its reliability
automatically. The pump display indicates this information. This eliminates acci-
dental reuse of tube sets on more than one patient (see Chapter 5.7, Tube Over-
view).
