Preparing the System
Preparing the system for surgery requires setting up the following items:
•
Suction source
•
IV Bag
•
Tubing Kits
•
Footswitch
Prepare the Suction Source
1.
Depending on the type of suction source being used, do one of the
following:
• If the Service Module is being used with the Console, position it in a
convenient location outside the sterile field.
•
Recommended
: Position the Console so that the touch screen is
clearly visible to the surgeon at all times and the alarm tone is
audible. Remove any obstructions that may block the surgeon’s
view of the touch screen. Do not position the Console in a way that
blocks access to the mains connector.
• If the Service Module is not being used, place the Console on a solid
surface outside the sterile field. Note that the external suction source
must operate at a minimum vacuum pressure between 560 mmHg and
620 mmHg with a free air flow capacity more than 42 L/min.
2.
If applicable, place a canister liner in the suction canister and connect the
tubes in the suction canister.
3.
Ensure that a contamination guard is fitted to protect the vacuum pump in
the Service Module.
4.
Connect tubing from pinch valve (
1
) to patient waste port on canister.
Caution
When using the Console without the Service Module, prior to surgery, place the
Console on a solid surface. The surface must be flat, non-slip and free from
obstruction.
Warning
Tubing kits must never be connected directly to the vacuum source as
contamination will occur.
Notice
Write the in-service start date on the contamination guard label before you
install it. See page 79 for details on the contamination guard shelf life.
