WARNING!
Fluid volume/sodium concentration
The fluid left in the patient and the concentration of sodium in the blood serum
must both be monitored. The deficit amount is the entire amount of fluid lost by
or to the system. Take note of the measurement tolerance of the system. Esti-
mating the fluid volume remaining in the patient is the doctor’s responsibility.
WARNING!
The pressure should be kept as low as possible to allow for a sufficient intrauter-
ine distension and to reduce the forces that could allow fluid, ambient air, and/
or gas into the circulatory system.
WARNING!
Fluid Overload
There is a risk of irrigation fluid reaching the circulatory system of the patient's
soft tissue. This can be affected by distention pressure, flow rate, perforation of
the distended body cavity and duration of the endoscopic surgery. It is critical to
closely monitor the input and outflow of the distending liquid at all times.
WARNING!
Filling the tubing with irrigation fluid and resetting the deficit display to zero are
to be done at the physician’s discretion.

WARNING!
Instrument replacement
Stop the device using the START/STOP switch if replacing the instrument during
surgery.
WARNING!
The inflow value is lost in the event of a power failure.
WARNING!
Fluid volume/sodium concentration
The fluid left in the patient and the concentration of sodium in the blood serum
must both be monitored. The deficit amount is the entire amount of fluid lost by
or to the system. Take note of the measurement tolerance of the system. Esti-
mating the fluid volume remaining in the patient is the physician’s responsibili-
ty.
WARNING!
If a stone is in the surgical field, it can be moved by the flow of irrigation fluid
settable via the pressure and flow rate values and possibly flushed into the kid-
neys.
