10. Use tubing set only for indicated use. Not
intended for hysteroscopic procedures.

11. Do not allow the tubing line(s) to become
crimped.
12. Do not use the pump in the presence of
flammable anesthetics, gases, disinfecting
agents, cleaning solutions, or any material
susceptible to ignition due to electrical
sparking.
13. Closely monitor the patient during and after
the operative procedure for signs of
complications resulting from excess fluid
absorption.
14. Accurate cannula placement is essential to
avoid extravasation of fluids. Placement of
the cannula should be verified to ensure the
distal end is within the joint capsule.
15. Excessive intra-articular pressure or
improper inflow cannula placement may
result in extravasation.
16. Visually inspect, examine and palpate the
patient's joint periodically to check for
proper distention.
17. An established outflow is recommended
during arthroscopic surgery.
18. The volume of distention fluid instilled and
drained should be monitored throughout the
procedure.
19. Periodically examine the location of the
inflow cannula to ensure that the cannula is
within the joint capsule. Extravasation may
occur as a result of improper cannula
placement or excessive intra-articular joint
pressure.
20. Monitor fluid intake carefully in cases of
known joint trauma with possible capsular
defects to avoid excessive effusion.
21. Do not allow this device to run unattended.
Patient safety requires that the pump be
continuously monitored during operation.
22. After each use, thoroughly clean the unit
(See "3.1 Cleaning and Sterilization" on
page E-14 ).
23. Equipment grounding is vital to ensure safe
operation. Plug the power cord into a
properly earthed mains supply outlet whose
voltage and frequency characteristics are
compatible with those listed on the unit or
in this manual. Do not use plug adapters or
extension cords; such devices defeat the
safety ground and could cause injury.
