and a tube set is not inserted within 30 minutes.
Once the tube set has been inserted, the display switches to Start pump.
1. Press the START/STOP key (13) of the device.

The device is equipped with an instrument recognition. Before starting the actual
irrigation, the pump identifies the resistance of the instrument attached to the
tube set and considers this value during the following procedure. A successful in-
strument recognition ("best flow") is depicted by a dot appearing inside the ar-
row depicted in the square box on the upper side of the display.
For optimal resistance measurement, it is advised to perform the instrument rec-
ognition outside the joint prior to surgery; however the pump will perform the
instrument recognition in the joint if necessary.
For best results, follow these instructions prior to beginning the surgery:
• Connect the inflow tube set to the instrument required for the surgical proce-
dure and all other connections. Close the outflow stopcock.
• Open the inflow stopcock completely.
• While keeping the instrument outside of the joint, hold the connected instru-
ment for the duration of the instrument detection (approx. 15 seconds) at
working height.
• Start the irrigation with the "Start" button. The device will first fill the tubing
with fluid.
• The pump detects when the tubing is filled. The instrument recognition starts
automatically once the pressure conditions are constant, which can take from
a few seconds (outside the joint) up to a minute (inside the joint).
• Then you should be able to notice three short cycles of irrigation.
• After approximately 15 seconds, the instrument detection is completed. A suc-
cessful instrument recognition ("best flow") is depicted by a dot appearing in-
side the arrow depicted in the square box on the upper side of the display.
• Close the inflow stopcock. DO NOT press the "Start/Stop".
• Perform surgery.
CAUTION!
Do not stop the device after having performed instrument recognition by press-
ing the Start/Stop button on the console. If the start/stop button is pressed, the
instrument recognition is lost and will automatically be performed again once ir-
rigation is reactivated. An instrument detection performed inside the joint may
not be successful. In this case, the device will not depict the black dot in the
square on the display. Irrigation will not be performed with "best flow" but at
"nominal flow". This may lead to a slight loss of performance in regards to best
flow settings but nevertheless enables arthroscopic procedures without addi-
tional risk to life or health of the patient.
