9.6 Starting Irrigation
1. Insert the tube set/day set as described in Chapter 9.2 "Inserting a Tube Set".
2. The status line depicts the following: Start pump or Day tube inserted.
3. Open a tube clamp at irrigation tube.
4. Open inflow valve at instrument completely.
5. If present, completely close the instrument outflow valve.
6. Press the [START] function field to start the irrigation process. The actual
pressure display shows the current measured value. The roller wheel starts to
turn. The device now carries out an instrument recognition.
The [START] function field can also be controlled with the help of the remote
control (see Chapter 6.13 "Using the Remote Control (Optional)").
7. Wait until the tube set/day set is completely filled with fluid (expels all air in
the tubes).
9.7 Stopping Irrigation
1. Press the [STOP] function field.
The [STOP] function field can also be controlled with the help of the remote
control (see Chapter 6.13 Using the Remote Control (Optional)).
2. The touchscreen then depicts the following values:
• Actual pressure display: Current measured value
• Nominal flow display: Last set value
• Nominal pressure display: Last set value
9.8 Wash Function
Better visibility with the Wash function The Wash function helps the physician performing the surgery to see better in-
side of the joint. The WASH function is activated either with the touchscreen, the
foot pedal (optional), or the remote control (optional). This activates a WASH
time of 10, 20, or 30 seconds (see Chapter 8.7.1 "Setting the Flow Level Standard/
Flow Level High"). This also increases the nominal flow rate by 0.5 l/min up to a
max. value of 2.5 l/min (example: previously: 0.7 l/min, Wash: 1.2 l/min). The
nominal pressure simultaneously increases by 50 % (rounded off in increments
of 5) up to a max.value of 200 mmHg (example: previously: 60 mmHg, Wash:
90 mmHg). Starting and stopping the Wash function is only possible while the
device is in operation.
The Table 9-3 depicts the parameters of the Wash function:
