Purpose of the System 3
Purpose of the System
Aquilex® Fluid Control System is intended to provide liquid distension of the uterus during diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy, and to monitor the volume differential between the irrigation fluid flowing into and out of the uterus.
Indication for use
The system may not be used to introduce fluids into the uterus when hysteroscopy is contraindicated. See the operators manual of your hysteroscope for absolute and relative contraindications.
Contraindications
EN
Relative contraindications to endometrial ablation: Hysteroscopic endometrial ablation, whether by laser or electrosurgery, should not be undertaken before adequate training, preceptorship, and clinical experience. Additionally, tissue sampling is required prior to destruction of the endometrium. The following are clinical conditions that can significantly complicate hysteroscopic endometrial ablation: • Adenomatous endometrial hyperplasia • Uterine leiomyoma • Severe adenomyosis • Pelvic pain (subtle PID) • Uterine anomalies • Surgical skill (see above) • Severe anemia • Inability to circumnavigate the myoma (re: myoma size) - predominantly intramural myomas with small submucous components.
3.1
Warnings and Precautions
3.1.1
Warnings
WARNING! When performing monopolar hysteroscopic electrosurgery, the distension medium must be electrically non-conductive. Examples include glycine, sorbitol and mannitol. Isotonic saline irrigation fluids may only be used when performing bipolar electrosurgical resective procedures.
WARNING! The pressure should be kept as low as possible to allow for a sufficient intrauterine distension and to reduce the forces that could allow fluid, ambient air, and/ or gas to enter the circulatory system.
WARNING! Intrauterine distention is usually possible with pressure values between 35 to 70 mmHg. A pressure above 75 to 80 mmHg is required only in rare cases or if the patient has an excessively high blood pressure.
WARNING! When using the cart/scale, follow the exact operating instructions in this manual.
WARNING! Fluid overload There is a risk of irrigation fluid reaching the circulatory system of the patient's soft tissue by passing through the uterus. This can be affected by distention pressure, flow rate, perforation of the uterine cavity and duration of the hystero-
5
Purpose of the System scopic surgery. It is critical to closely monitor the input and outflow of the distending liquid at all times.
EN
WARNING! Fluid deficit The fluid left in the patient must be monitored. The deficit is the total amount of fluid left in the patient or unaccounted for otherwise. Take notice of the measurement tolerance of the system (see Chapter 10, Technical Data). Estimating the fluid volume remaining in the patient is the physician’s responsibility.
WARNING! Fluid intake and output surveillance Strict fluid intake and output surveillance should be maintained. If a low viscosity liquid distention medium is used, intrauterine instillation exceeding 2 liters should be followed with great care due to the possibility of fluid overload. If a high viscosity fluid (e. g. Hyskon) is used, the use of more than 500 ml should be followed with great care. See labeling for Hyskon for additional information.
WARNING! Serum sodium concentration It is also necessary to monitor the concentration of sodium in the blood of the patient to prevent electrolyte disturbances. Monitoring of the concentration of sodium in the blood must be performed by the physician and is not performed or supported by the system.
WARNING! The deficit display value is lost in case of a power loss or “brownout.”
WARNING! Hyponatremia Some distension fluids may lead to fluid overload and, consequently, hyponatremia with its attending sequelae. This can be affected by the distending pressure, flow rate, and duration of hysteroscopic procedure. It is critical to closely monitor the input and outflow of the distending liquid at all times.
WARNING! Pulmonary edema Hysteroscopic surgery is associated with a risk of developing pulmonary edema resulting from fluid overload with isotonic fluids. It is critical to closely monitor the input and outflow of the distending liquid at all times.
6
Purpose of the System
EN
WARNING! Cerebral edema Hysteroscopic surgery is associated with a risk of developing cerebral edema resulting from fluid overload and electrolyte disturbances with hypoosmolar (nonionic) fluids such as glycine 1.5% and sorbitol 3.0%. It is critical to closely monitor the input and outflow of the distending liquid at all times.
WARNING! Idiosyncratic reactions In rare cases, idiosyncratic reactions, including: • intravascular coagulopathy • allergic reaction including anaphylaxis may occur while performing hysteroscopy if a liquid distention medium is used. Specifically, idiosynatric anaphylactoid reactions have been reported when using Hyskon as an irrigation fluid during hysteroscopy. These should be managed like any allergic reaction.
WARNING! Hypothermia (monitoring body temperature) Continuous flow of distention fluids can lead to a lowering of the patient's body temperature during hysteroscopic surgery. Lower body temperatures can cause coronary and cardiovascular problems. Always monitor the patient's body temperature during the entire surgery. Make especially sure that the following, hypothermia promoting, operation conditions are avoided as best as possible: • longer operating times • use of cold irrigation fluid.
WARNING! Rupture of the fallopian tube secondary to tubal obstruction Distention of the uterus may lead to a tear of the fallopian tube should there be an obstruction or permanent occlusion. The rupture could lead to irrigation fluid flowing into the patient's peritoneal cavity, resulting in a fluid overload. It is critical to closely monitor the input and outflow of the distending liquid at all times.
WARNING! An air embolism can be the result of air contained in the tube set or connected instrument reaching the patient. Ensure there is always fluid in the bag to prevent air from being pumped into the patient.
WARNING! The system is only intended for use with flexible fluid containers. Do not use glass containers as they might break. With rigid containers, fluid cannot flow quickly enough due to the vacuum being generated inside of the containers. Risk of implosion with rigid containers.
WARNING! Filling the tubing with irrigation fluid and resetting the deficit display to zero are to be done at the physician’s discretion.
7
Purpose of the System WARNING! Place the system in such a way as to allow for easy visualization of the display values, system functions, and access to the control elements.
EN
WARNING! Do not use this system if a defect is suspected or detected during the function check. This also applies to obvious defects, especially defects and damage to the power plug and power cord.
WARNING! Pressing the ON/OFF switch does not disconnect the system from the wall power outlet. This requires pulling the power cord located in the rear of the system.
WARNING! Technique and procedures Only the physician can evaluate the clinical factors involved with each patient and determine if the use of this system is indicated. The physician must determine the specific technique and procedure that will accomplish the desired clinical outcome.
WARNING! Check all factory settings. Factory settings are not mandatory settings for the physician. The physician is responsible for all settings affecting the surgical procedure.
WARNING! Original accessories For your own safety and that of your patient, use only Aquilex accessories.
WARNING! Not explosion-proof The system is not explosion-proof. Do not use in an area where flammable anesthetic gases are present.
WARNING! No modification of this equipment is allowed.
WARNING! To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply mains with protective earth.

WARNING! Equipment should be positioned such that power cord can be easily disconnected.
3.1.2
Precautions
CAUTION! Federal Law (only for U.S. market) Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
9
Purpose of the System CAUTION! When using the Aquilex System with MyoSure® or other morcellation systems, the combination of low set pressures and high vacuum pressures may result in a significant loss of intrauterine distension pressure which has the potential to affect the visibility of the surgical field. Conversely, when employing high distension pressures, the deactivation of the MyoSure® or other morcellator system can lead to pressure spikes that can exceed 150 mmHg. These situations may occur for a short time as the system automatically adjusts the flow rate to return to the set intrauterine pressure.
EN
CAUTION! The system may only be connected with hysteroscopes designed for and featuring the technical specification permitting such a combined use. Any utilized hysteroscopes must comply with the most recent versions of EC 60601-2-18 and ISO 8600.
CAUTION! Electrical Interference: (See Chapter 11, Guidelines and manufacturer's statement - electromagnetic compatibility). Electrical interference with other devices or instruments was practically eliminated when developing this system and none was detected during testing. However, if you still detect or suspect such interference, please follow these suggestions: • Move the Aquilex System, the other device, or both devices to a different location • Increase distance between devices used • Consult an electro-medical expert
CAUTION! Check to ensure the available wall outlet voltage matches the data listed on the label attached to the back of the pump. Incorrect voltage can cause errors and malfunctions and may destroy the system.
3.2 Technical application scope of the system
Description of the Aquilex Fluid Control System
The intrauterine pressure can be adjusted on the front of the pump. It can be preset to a range between 40 and 150 mmHg. The maximun inflow rate is 800 ml/ min and is reduced automatically by the pump once the pre-set intrauterine pressure setting has been reached. The system has been designed to provide both fluid and vacuum systems that maximize the performance of the MyoSure® Tissue Removal System.
Suggested distension media
The Aquilex Fluid Control System can be used with hypotonic, electrolyte-free media (e.g., glycine 1.5% and sorbitol 3.0%) and isotonic, electrolyte containing media (e.g., saline 0.9% and Lactated Ringer's).
Pressure measuring and regulating
The system operates with a completely non-contact pressure measurement of the irrigation medium. The contact-free pressure measurement is achieved by integrating the pressure chamber into the tubing system. The pressure chamber transmits the irrigation fluid pressure to the electronics of the device via a pressure sensor. The pressure control circuit continuously compares the desired preset intrauterine pressure with the actual intrauterine pressure. The function of this algorithm is to maintain the pre-set intrauterine pressure. Check for possible leaks if the pre-set intrauterine pressure cannot be achieved.

Turning On the Aquilex System
1. Press the ON/OFF switch. The displays and indicators light up and system turns on. 2. The system now performs a self-diagnostic test. 3. If a tube set is in the inflow tube holder when the pump switches on, the pump display (Fig. 5-1, Front of Pump (1)) shows Remove Tube Set. The selftest resumes once the tube set is removed from the roller wheel. If the system self-test is unsuccessful, the corresponding error messages are displayed. (See Chapter 9, Error and Warning Messages). The system has successfully completed the self-diagnostic test when a single audible tone is heard. The message System OK is displayed for 5 secs followed by the message Insert Tube Set. WARNING! Do not use this system if a defect is suspected or detected during the function check. This also applies to any obvious defects, especially defects on the power plug and power cord.

WARNING! When performing monopolar hysteroscopic electrosurgery, the distension medium must be electrically non-conductive. Examples include glycine, sorbitol and mannitol. Isotonic saline irrigation fluids may only be used when performing bipolar electrosurgical resective procedures.
Hang one or two fluid bags with distension media appropriate for procedure. (A MyoSure® procedure utilizes one or two 3000 cc saline bags.) WARNING! The system is only intended for use with flexible fluid containers. Do not use glass containers as they might break. With rigid containers, fluid cannot flow quickly enough due to the vacuum being generated inside of the containers. Risk of implosion with rigid containers.

Using Tube Sets
The Aquilex Fluid Control System is designed for use with disposable inflow and outflow tube sets. Tube set recognition technology
Each inflow tube set is equipped with tube set recognition technology. An RFID transponder detects the type of tubing, whether it has been used, and its reliability automatically. The pump display indicates this information. This eliminates accidental reuse of tubing on more than one patient (see Chapter 5.7, Tubing Overview). WARNING! Reprocessing of sterile disposable products Reuse of inflow or outflow tubing can cause an infection hazard for patients and/or users as well as impair of product functionality. Contamination and/or impaired functionality of the system can cause risk of injury, illness, or death. Do not re-process single-use inflow or outflow tubing.
NOTE! Comply with hygiene rules when disposing of tubing, fluid collected, and the canisters.
