WARNING!
Air in the insufflation tube set
Air in the insufflation tube set can cause an embolism.
Start the insufflation before the tube set is connected to the patient to push the air
out of the insufflation tube set. Stop the insufflation when at least 1 liter of CO
2
has been insufflated.
Connecting the tube set
2.
1.
1. Align the bottom of the tube set connector with the bottom of the receptacle
on the front of the insufflator,
2. then push the top of the tube set connector until the tube set audibly snaps
into place.
A short acoustic signal is emitted.
Removing the tube set
Press the eject button to remove the tube set. Hold the tube set to prevent it from
falling to the floor when being ejected.
If the tube set has been removed the device will return to the operating mode se-
lection screen after 10 minutes of idle time.
5.4 Using Gas Heating
It is possible to insufflate gas with a body temperature (approximately 37°C/99°F)
with the help of tubes with heating function (see Chapter Insufflation Tube Sets
[}28]).
NOTE!
Slow moving gas
If the actual flow is <5l/min, the gas temperature might be below 37°C when en-
tering the trocar. Slow moving gas cools down quickly.
CAUTION!
Direct heat
Do not subject the heating tube to direct heat (e.g., endoscope connected with
light source) or high room temperatures.
The device automatically determines whether a tube set with or without gas heat-
ing is connected. After the corresponding tube set has been correctly identified,
Gas Heater OK
is displayed.
The insufflator automatically controls the gas heater at the start and stop of the in-
sufflation.
The following table describes all possible gas heater states, the corresponding
icons as well as additional information.
