en
To be carried out by non-sterile technician:
The inflow tube (4) can take irrigation fluid from 2 fluid bags (1). Connect
both tube clamps (3) to the branches of the inflow tube.
Connect the tube ends of the tube set with the irrigation fluid bags using the
tap spikes (2) (or Care lock connector). When doing this, grasp the tap spike
(2) at the provided handle when connecting.
Insert the tap spike (2) (or Care lock connector) into the fluid bags (1) while
ensuring sterile conditions (safety measure).
Hang the fluid bags (1) at a height of h (between 0 to 1.5 m) on a provided
stand (see Fig. 6-7 "Hanging the irrigation fluid bags").
Open one of the two tube clamps (3) of the irrigation tube.
6.11 Replacing an Irrigation Fluid Bag
Bag warningIf the function Fluid bag warning in the General settings -> Fluid bag menu is set
to ON (see "Setting the Fluid Bag Warning"), an alarm is issued as soon as the flu-
id bag is almost empty (volume < 15%). A short warning beep is emitted 3 times
and the status line depicts the following: Replace fluid bag. If the fluid bag warn-
ing is not enabled, the fill level of the irrigation fluid bags must be monitored by
the medical personnel.
Enabling the fluid bag warning is only practical if:
• the height between roller wheel and fluid bag remains constant,
• the same bag size is used each time, and
•only one of the two tube clamps of the irrigation tube is opened at any time.
Replacing the fluid bagIf the fluid bag warning is indicated visually or acoustically, the empty bag must
be replaced with a full one.
CAUTION!
Make sure the bag volume of the used fluid bags is set correctly in the user menu
(see "Setting the Fluid Bag Warning").
To be carried out by non-sterile technician:
Open tube clamp of the full fluid bag.
Close tube clamp of almost empty fluid bag.
Press the [Fluid bag] symbol on the touchscreen to reset the device to a full
fluid bag. The status line depicts the following: Fluid bag replaced.
