Purpose 3
Purpose
The device serves to insufflate CO2 into the abdomen during a diagnostic or therapeutic laparoscopy. Please consult the instructional manual of your laparoscope for additional information and special application indications. The insufflator limits the pressure to max. 30 mm Hg (mm mercury column) and the gas flow to max. 20 l/min. The device measures the pressure within the abdomen in short intervals and continuously compares the nominal with the actual abdominal pressure. The function of this device is to maintain the nominal pressure. Any overpressure within the abdomen is lowered to the preset nominal pressure by the automatic venting system. If the nominal flow is set too low, the nominal pressure cannot be reached.
EN
Intended Use
Check for possible leaks. The device may not be used to fill an abdomen with CO2 if a laparoscopy is contraindicated. Please consult the manual of your laparoscope for absolute and relative contraindications. The device is not suitable for hysteroscopic insufflations, i.e., it may not be used to distend the uterus.
Contraindications
The gas flow may not exceed 14 l/min when performing a laparoscopy on infants or patients weighing less than 25 kilos.
3.1
Device-Inherent Dangers
WARNING! CO2 absorption CO2 is absorbed during insufflation (intravasation). This means the body absorbs part of the CO2 gas used for insufflation. CO2 concentrations in the blood or respiratory system that are too high can lead to death of the patient in extreme cases. To lower this risk, always carefully and closely monitor the patient's vital signs during the entire insufflation process and make sure patient is breathing well. Sufficient respiration can help avoid or limit problems with CO2. High pressure or a high gas flow promotes CO2 absorption. The abdomen is sufficiently distended using a pressure between 10 to 15 mmHg. Pressure values above 15 mmHg are required for only a few cases but do increase the risk of intravasation. Never exceed the max. intra-abdominal pressure of 30 mmHg.
WARNING! Metabolic and cardiac reactions Insufflating CO2 may result in metabolic acidosis. This can lead to cardiac irregularities expressed with the following symptoms: • Reduced respiration with restricted diaphram function • Hypercapnia • Reduction of venous reflux • Reduced cardiac output • Metabolic acidosis
WARNING! Idiosyncratic reactions Patients with sickle cell anemia or pulmonary insufficiency may have a higher risk of metabolic imbalance related to excessive CO2 absorption (idiosyncratic reaction).
WARNING! Hypothermia/monitoring body temperature The gas flow can lead to a lowering of the patient's body temperature during insufflation. Hypothermia during insufflation can cause heart and cardiovascular
7
Purpose problems. The risk for hypothermia can be significantly reduced with the use of gas that is pre-warmed to body temperature. Always monitor the patient's body temperature during the entire insufflation. Make especially sure that the following, hypothermia promoting, surgical conditions are avoided as best as possible: • High gas flow due to large leaks • Long surgeries • Use of cold (not preheated) irrigation and infusion solutions
EN
WARNING! Dehydration Insufflation can lead to dehydration of the tissue. This can result in organ tissue damage and cardiovascular reactions of the patient. Long surgeries and large leaks increase the risk of dehydration (especially at the insertion points of the trocars or when changing instruments).
WARNING! Embolism/insufflation of internal organs Improper placement of the insufflation instrument could cause gas penetrating a vessel or an internal organ, resulting in air or CO2 embolisms. To reduce the risk, use a low flow rate for the first insufflation and ensure that the insufflation instrument is correctly positioned. Check the position of the insufflation instrument immediately if the actual pressure rapidly reaches the nominal pressure value. CO2 embolisms can also be caused by a high intra-abdominal pressure. Avoid high-pressure settings and close damaged blood vessels at once.
WARNING! Gas flow A high gas flow can occur due to large leaks within the surgical system or instrument. This can result in a false actual pressure reading, which in turn may endanger the patient. In case of a disrupted gas flow, you should therefore inspect device, tube, and instruments immediately. Surgical applications should be carried out with a gas flow of 4-10 l/min. An even lower gas flow is recommended for diagnostic purposes. It is recommended to perform endoscopies with the lowest gas flow possible.
WARNING! Keep filled CO2 bottle on hand Always keep a filled CO2 bottle on hand ready for replacement. This avoids having to interrupt surgery due to a lack of insufflation gas (see chapter 4.2 "Connecting a Gas Cylinder").
WARNING! The venting rate of the automatic venting system is limited. Always monitor the actual pressure when using additional insufflation sources.
WARNING! Additional insufflation sources The use of additional insufflation sources increases the intra-abdominal pressure. Continuously monitor intra-abdominal pressure over the course of the entire insufflation if additional sources are used.
8
Purpose WARNING! Contamination Do not use device and/or accessories if signs of contamination are detected. Make sure the device or/and accessories can no longer be operated until a qualified service technician conducts the appropriate tests and repairs.
EN
WARNING! Filter Use a new/sterile filter for each patient. You must work with a 0.2 μm two-way (retention rate 99.99 %) hydrophobic filter between patient and device. This should prevent bodily fluids from entering the device and also prevents impurities from possibly entering into the patient’s body. Reduced flow capacity should be considered when using a hydrophobic filter.
WARNING! Contaminated filter Replace a contaminated filter immediately during surgery to ensure unhindered gas flow.
WARNING! Connecting the tube Always use the proper tube set for the device. The tube outlet may only be connected to instruments which are intended for intra-abdominal CO2 insufflation.
WARNING! Positioning the patient Always position the patient lower than the device to prevent body fluids from leaking into the insufflation tube. Actual pressure may increase and fluid may penetrate the insufflation tube if the patient is repositioned during surgery. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the insufflation tube. When the patient is repositioned onto his or her side, internal tissue may block the insufflation channel. Always insufflate through the elevated side of the patient.
WARNING! Backflow Body secretions or contaminated gas may backflow into the device through the insufflation tube if • a filter is not used, • the actual pressure is higher than the nominal pressure or • the automatic venting valve is activated.
WARNING! Removing the insufflation tube Always disconnect the insufflation tube after ending surgery and before switching off the device to prevent backflow of bodily fluids. Fluid may penetrate the insufflation tube whenever you change the gas bottle and/or when you stop the gas flow during the operation. If this happens, you must immediately disconnect the insufflation tube from the trocar or from the device.
9
Purpose WARNING! Electronic device control Do not close the valve at the trocar sleeve during surgery. The electronic control unit of the device adjusts the actual pressure as desired.
EN
WARNING! Fatigue symptoms When there is a high level of CO2 consumption, you should make sure to supply the operating area with enough fresh air, since an increasing CO2 level in the air can cause the medical personnel to suffer fatigue symptoms, an inability to concentrate, unconsciousness, or even death.
WARNING! Medically pure CO2 Make sure to use only medically pure CO2. Other gases (i.e., helium, N2O, argon), mixtures of gases, high pressure compressed gases, gases with entrapped liquids, or polluted gases must not be used with this device.
WARNING! Service connection Connected devices have to comply with the EN 60950 standard. Do not connect a device to the service connection during surgery.
CAUTION! Electrical Interference (See chapter 12 "Electromagnetic Compatibility"). Electrical interference with other devices or instruments was practically eliminated when developing this devices and none was detected during testing. However, if you still detect or suspect such interference, please follow these suggestions: • Move this, the other or both devices to a different location • Increase distance between used devices • Consult an electro-medical expert
WARNING! Peripheral devices Additional peripheral equipment connected to interfaces of the medical monitor has to meet the requirements of the following specifications: IEC 60601-2-18 / EN 60601-2-18 for endoscopic devices and IEC 60601-1 / EN 60601-1 for electrical medical devices. All configurations have to comply with IEC 60601-1 / EN 60601-1 specifications. Whoever connects additional equipment to signal output or signal input is considered the system configurator and as such is responsible for complying with requirements of the standard IEC 60601-1 / EN 60601-1.

Preselecting the Nominal Pressure
First nominal pressure
The nominal pressure indicator (4) already displays a nominal pressure (4) value after the device self-test has concluded. This "first nominal pressure" can range from 1 to 15 mm Hg (factory setting = 10 mm Hg) depending on the user menu settings.
Setting
The nominal pressure can be set while in standby mode as well as during the started insufflation. The desired nominal pressure can be preset to range of 1-30 mm Hg. Reduce the nominal pressure with the minus key (3) (in one-step increments down to 1 mm Hg). This set value is a "volatile value". The initially set "first nominal" value entered into the user menu is restored after stopping the insufflation, turning the device off and back on or starting the device. Increase the nominal pressure with the plus key (3) (in one-step increments from 1 to 15 mm Hg and from 15 to 30 mm Hg). This set value is a "volatile value". The initially set "first nominal" value entered into the user menu is restored after stopping the insufflation, turning the device off and back on or starting the device.
Threshold value
The nominal pressure value "15 mm Hg" is a threshold value. This is where the recommended range for the intra-abdominal pressure ends (starting to flash at 15 mm Hg). Exceeding this safety limit is to be decided by and the responsibility of the user/operator. Release the plus key for at least 1 second to adjust to a higher setting. The display switches from flashing to being continuously illuminated. Now you can set a value up to 30 mm Hg. This set value is a "volatile value". The initially set "first nominal" value entered into the user menu is restored after

EN
Preselecting Nominal Flow
The nominal gas flow indicator (11) already displays a nominal flow value after the device self-test has concluded. This value can range from 1 to 5 l/min depending on the "Gas flow rate 1" user menu settings. (Factory setting 3 l/min)
Nominal gas flow start value
The nominal gas flow can be set while in standby mode as well as during operation of the device. The desired nominal gas flow can be preset to range of 1-20 l/ min.
Setting
Reduce the nominal gas flow with the minus key (7) (in one-step increments down to 1 l/min). This set value is a "volatile value". The initially set "Gas flow rate 1" value entered into the user menu is restored after stopping the insufflation, turning the device off and back on or starting the device. Increase the nominal gas flow with the plus key (7) (in one-step increments up to max. 20 l/min). Keep the plus key or the minus key depressed to scroll to gas flow rate 1, 2, 3 after a delay of 1.5 seconds (values depend on preset selections in user menu). The device monitors the gas flow in two different operating modes:
"Veress Operating Mode"
• Veress (1-5 l/min) operating mode • "Insufflation Operating Mode“ (6-20 l/min) The operating mode "Veress" is intended for gentle insufflation since the actual pressure does not exceed the preset nominal pressure even in case of small volumes (e.g., abdomen of a child). To minimize the risks of a faulty incision, the manufacturer recommends using the "Veress" operating mode to start off a procedure (filling abdomen with CO2). Please note that the automatic venting system is not active during the Veress operating mode. Reduce the nominal gas flow with the minus key (7) until the following is displayed: • Nominal gas flow value less or equal to 3 l/min • LED VERESS -> On • LED INSUFFLATION -> Off Pressure drops due to leaks are quickly equalized during the "Insufflation Operating Mode". 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 (cf. 6 "Safety Functions"). Tube, filter, and instrument can reduce the gas flow.
"Insufflation Operating Mode"
Increase the nominal gas flow with the plus key (7) until the following is displayed: • Nominal gas flow value > 5 l/min • LED VERESS -> Off • LED INSUFFLATION -> On

Safety Functions 6
Safety Functions
The device is equipped with an automatic venting system.
EN
Automatic Venting System
• The venting system is always deactivated while using Veress mode. • The venting system can be activated/deactivated in the user menu when using the Insufflation mode. • The threshold values for the venting pressure and the venting response time are adjustable in the user menu. The relief or venting system is triggered if the actual pressure exceeds the venting pressure set in the user menu. The activation is triggered after the time delay set in the user menu. The venting system releases gas until the set nominal value has been reached again. CAUTION! The venting system is only active in the operating mode “Insufflation” and not the “Veress” mode.
WARNING! The venting rate of the automatic venting system is limited. Always monitor the intra-abdominal pressure when using additional insufflation sources.
CAUTION! The manufacturer advises against using additional, non-pressure controlled insufflation sources during minimally invasive surgical procedures. The self-inflating property of lasers cooled with CO2 and argon beamers can lead to values exceeding the nominal pressure. (See Abb. 5-1 "Device Front")
Overpressure within Insufflation System
• If pressure exceeds the nominal pressure by 3 to 5 mm Hg for a duration of 3 to 5 seconds, • as well as with pressure > 29 mm Hg the actual pressure display (14) flashes and 3 warning beeps are emitted after 3 seconds. If the tube, Veress cannula, or the trocar has a blockage:
In Case of Occlusion
• “0” in display and flashing actual flow display (12) • and 3 warning beeps. If the device is malfunctioning, can no longer be operated safely, and requires service:

Insufflating with Veress Cannula
On delivery from the factory, a gas flow value of 3 l/min and the Veress operating mode are set for insufflation through the Veress cannula. WARNING! Select "Veress Operating Mode" when using the Veress cannula. This manual does not include instructions for the safe use of the Veress cannula. Only when you have ensured endoscopically that an aeroperitoneum can be generated, should a gas flow of more than 3 l/min and a pressure of more than 10 mmHg be selected. 1. Insert the Veress cannula into the abdomen. Check to see if the Veress cannula is correctly positioned in the abdomen. 2. Connect the insufflation tube to the Veress cannula. 3. Select the desired nominal pressure and nominal gas flow. 4. Start insufflation: Press the Start/Stop key. Check the actual pressure display and the gas consumption display.
9.2
Insufflating with the Trocar
1. Insert the trocar into the abdomen. Connect the tube to the trocar. CAUTION! Stopping insufflation during surgery can diffuse CO2 through the wall of the tube, which results in a high negative tube pressure. This can damage the device. Therefore, the tube connection between patient and device has to be severed. This can be done at the trocar as well as directly at the device. 2. Make sure the trocar is correctly positioned in the abdomen. Then select the desired pressure and desired gas flow as intraoperative conditions. 3. The actual pressure display shows the current measured value for insufflation. As soon as this value approximates the selected nominal value, the gas flow is automatically minimized. The gas consumption display shows the volume of gas consumed. 4. Check how the patient's body reacts to the selected pressure and gas flow rate. Compare the abdominal filling rate to the selected nominal pressure. You can change the nominal gas flow and the nominal pressure during surgery without interrupting the insufflation process. The venting system is automatically triggered (not during Veress mode and not if the venting system has been deactivated in the user menu) if the measured actual pressure (cf. Chapter Safety functions) exceeds the set nominal pressure. CAUTION! Make sure that the venting valve is switched on in the user menu "Venting sys-
