5.11 Setting the Nominal Flow - All Operating Modes
To set the nominal flow, press the + or - buttons (see Fig. Screen displays [}28]
(10)/(12)) on the display below the actual gas flow display.
• With every touch of the + or - button the nominal flow is increased/reduced in
steps of 1l/min. When working within the range of 0.1 to 2l/min in Pediatric
Operating Mode, the value is increased/reduced by 0.1 l/min. When pressing
the flow button longer, scrolling through the flow levels is activated but only
up to the respective, operating mode-dependent safety threshold (see below).
• When setting the nominal flow rate, Pediatric operating mode has a safety
threshold at 5l/min, Vessel Harvest at 6l/min. If the flow is to be increased
above these values, the depicted query must be confirmed accordingly.
WARNING!
Exceeding the safety limit
Exceeding this safety limit is to be decided by and the responsibility of the user/op-
erator.

Veress insufflationVeress insufflation
is a gentle type of insufflation that prevents exceeding the pre-
set nominal pressure by the actual pressure even in case of small volumes. To min-
imize the risks in case of a faulty incision, the manufacturer recommends using
Veress insufflation
to start a procedure (filling abdomen with CO
2
).
CAUTION!
Venting system
Please note that the automatic venting system is not active during Veress insuffla-
tion.
How to activate Veress Insufflation
The activation of the Veress insufflation depends on the chosen mode.
