Set-up
SET-UP
Set-up STEP
1
For Hologic Technical Support, please call (800) 442-9892
Connect the color-coded vacuum tubing from the high (green) and low (white) pump vacuum ports to the vacuum ports on the back canisters.
STEP
3
Do not discard vacuum tubes after the procedure, they are reusable.
STEP
2
Tandem connect the front canister to the back canisters using the tandem ports. Place a tissue trap in the front high vacuum canisters if the MyoSure® Tissue Removal Device is utilized.
STEP
4
Connect the white Y outflow tubing connector to the patient port on the front low vacuum canister.
Connect the yellow Y outflow tubing connector to the underbuttocks drape. Ensure the drape port is open so fluid can return to the canisters.

Twist the yellow luer-lock onto the scope outflow channel.
Twist the blue inflow luer-lock onto the scope inflow channel.
STEP

STEP
8
Turn on the Aquilex system before any tubing is connected to the roller wheel. The system will perform a self-diagnostic test.
When prompted insert the inflow tubing around and past the roller wheel to secure into place.
Set-up
For Hologic Technical Support, please call (800) 442-9892
Set an intrauterine pressure.
STEP
9
Hang and spike fluid bags. Up to two fluid bags can be hung.
10
11
Additional fluid bags should be readily available.
To prime the system check that the inflow stopcock is completely open and your fluid bag is unclamped.
STEP
STEP
The intrauterine pressure is adjustable from 40 to 150 mmHg.
STEP
12
Press the “Prime” button. During the Prime Cycle the system will purge air from the system and perform an automatic lumen calibration. Once the prime is complete, the system will beep once and switch to system operating mode. Close the inflow stopcock.
Aquilex will automatically adjust its flow rate (capable of 800 ml/min) to maintain the set intrauterine pressure.
STEP
13
Set a fluid deficit. The deficit is adjustable from 700 to 2,500 ml.
Press and hold the “Zero” button to 0 the fluid deficit.

FLUID DEFICIT: Solution Type
Examples
Deficit Limits*
Hypotonic
Glycine, Sorbitol, Mannitol
1,000 ml
Isotonic
Normal Saline or Lactated Ringers
2,500 ml
Intrauterine Pressure: the intrauterine pressure should be at the lowest pressure necessary to distend the uterine cavity and maintain visualization
* Remember to always follow hospital policies. For further guidance please refer to: AAGL’s Practice Guidelines for the Management of Hysteroscopic Distending Media, March/April 2013, Vol. 20, No 2, The Journal of the American Association of Gynecological Laparoscopists.

How to Display the Total Volume
2. Change the canister and then press “Pause/Resume” once the change is complete and you are ready to continue the procedure.
Hold down both the up and down arrows on the deficit limit display to show the total fluid volume.
Changing Bags
How to Check the Vacuum
The Aquilex system does not need to be paused for bag changes.
Test vacuum by placing a finger over the gold exhaust valves on the back of the Aquilex pump. If air is felt then the vacuum pumps are operating.
