Performing The Function Test In High Flow Operating Mode - Stryker PneumoSure Gebrauchsanleitung

• Keeping the º or » function field pressed longer than 1.5 seconds activates
scrolling through the gas flow rates 3, 20, 40 l/min or 40, 20, 3 l/min.
2. The preset values of the Configuration menu can be changed individually (see
chapter 10.1 Configuration menu I, page 60). Select a nominal gas flow be-
tween 1-40 l/min. The preset value is indicated in the nominal gas flow dis-
play. The values for the nominal gas flow refer to a device without connected
tube, filter, or instrument. Tube, filter, and instrument can reduce the gas
flow.
The device monitors the gas flow in two different operating modes depicted in
the status line with the following messages:
• Veress insufflation (1-5 l/min)
• Insufflation: High Flow (6-40 l/min)
Veress insufflation operating mode:
Veress insufflation is a gentle type of insufflation so that the actual pressure
does not exceed the preset pressure even in case of small volumes. To minimize
the risks in case of a faulty incision, the manufacturer recommends using Veress
insufflation to start a procedure (filling abdomen with CO2).
CAUTION!
Please note that the automatic venting system is not active during Veress insuf-
flation mode.
Insufflation: High Flow
While Insufflation: High Flow any pressure loss due to leaks can be quickly equal-
ized. The APC Technology (Advanced Pressure Control) enables raising the actual
pressure gently to the level of the nominal pressure. In case of large volumes, the
actual pressure does not exceed the nominal pressure (see chapter 11 Safety
functions, page 70).
Start the device by pressing the START function field.
With a nominal flow setting of < 6 l/min Veress insufflation is displayed. Above
5 l/min Insufflation: High Flow) is displayed.
Stop the device by pressing the STOP function field.
NOTE!
Tube, filter, and instrument can reduce the gas flow.

Performing the Function Test in High Flow Operating Mode

Sterilize reusable instruments and tubing before surgery to prevent infections.
Check all the single-use/disposable items before removing them from the pack-
age to ensure that the packaging is intact and that the expiration date is still val-
id.
For your own safety and that of your patient, use only original accessories.
WARNING!
The function test must be performed prior to each surgical procedure.
