If the connection of the AirSeal® filter tube set with the AirSeal® cannula is inter-
rupted or severed, the system stops and the warning Check connection of Tri-Lu-
men Filtered Tube Set! is depicted.
If a large leak makes it impossible to maintain the AirSeal® function, the warning

Fill Level Display

Tri-lumen and the bifurcated filtered tube sets are equipped with fluid sensors to
monitor the fluid level in the filters and to warn users of a possible device con-
tamination.
When working in the AirSeal Mode and Smoke Evacuation Mode, body fluids may
be flushed from the surgical field through the evacuation line and into the filter
housing.. In order to prevent contamination of the device, bodily fluid is retained
by the fluid trap of the housing component. The capacity of the fluid trap is lim-
ited.
A warning message will be emitted if the fill level LOW is reached. Cannula and
tubing placement should be checked to make sure no more fluid enters the filter.
Insufflation can be continued with full functionality.
If fluid level HIGH is reached in Smoke Evacuation Mode: Smoke Evacuation func-
tion will stop but insufflation can still be continued.
If fluid level HIGH is reached in AirSeal Mode: AirSeal function will stop, but sur-
gery may continue using standard insufflation.
This requires that the obturator is reinserted into the AirSeal® cannula or the tri-
lumen tube is connected with the tube adapter to a conventional cannula after
conventional cannula is inserted. If AirSeal® cannula is removed, the surgeon
may wish to insert conventional cannulas in same entry point.
Insert a new Tri-Lumen tube to continue with the AirSeal Insufflation.
A warning screen will immediately appear if the fluid fill level in the filter housing
of the tri-lumen tube sets and bifurcated tube sets is at low or high upon insert-
ing one of those tube sets. Insufflation will not start until a new tube set is insert-
ed.
