icit meter. During the operation as the actual deficit climbs, the LEDs will light up
sequentially representing the actual deficit volume until the deficit limit is
reached. (See Section
Deficit Limit in Chapter 6, Safety functions).
5.12 Using the Pump during Operation

Open bag clamps (
(3)
Figure 5-10).

Fully open hysteroscope inflow stopcock.

Press the Prime button (
(17)
Figure 5-1).

Pump will run for approximately 20 seconds to purge air from tubing and
run the Automatic Lumen Calibration.

Pump will display Calibration Running.
Automatic lumen calibration The pump is equipped with an automatic lumen calibration functionality. The
system determines the flow resistance of the hysteroscope. This resistance is
used to calculate the pump pressure necessary to maintain the pre-set intrauter-
ine pressure.
The automatic lumen calibration starts once the Prime button is pressed.

Once Automatic Lumen Calibration is completed, pump will beep once. The
pump display will show
Prime Successful Close Stopcock for 3 secs followed
by System Operating.

Close hysteroscope inflow stopcock to stop fluid flow. Once all fluid has been
removed from the drape, zero the deficit display.
NOTE!
The pump continues to operate after automatic lumen calibration is complete.
The pump should be stopped by closing hysteroscope inflow stopcock.
NOTE!
Automatic lumen calibration has to be performed each time a different hystero-
scope is used during the procedure by pressing the Prime button.
System Operation

Open stopcock and guide the hysteroscope with fluid flowing into the uter-
us.

Adjust intrauterine pressure setting as necessary to obtain adequate disten-
sion and visualization.
Completing System Operation

After system operation is complete, close the hysteroscope inflow stopcock.

Wait until the entire fluid volume in the under-buttock drape and the tube
set has been has been collected into the canisters.

Press the Pause/Resume button.

Record the deficit volume on the deficit display. This is the total fluid volume
that was absorbed by the patient.
WARNING!
Device error: Do not use the Aquilex System if a defect is suspected or detected
during the function check. This also applies to obvious and visible defects, espe-
cially defects and damage of the power plug and power cord.
5.13 Changing Canisters during Procedure
Changing canisters during the procedure

Pause the pump by pressing Pause/Resume button.
This locks the fluid deficit display number.

Remove desired canisters and install new canisters.

Reconnect canister tubing.

Press Pause/Resume button to resume procedure.
