Smith & Nephew Hysteroscopic Fluid Management System
Operations/Service Manual
Device Description/Indications for Use/Contraindications/Warnings
Device Description The Smith & Nephew Hysteroscopic Fluid Management System consists of an irrigation pump with a fluid monitor unit used for hysteroscopic procedures. The product is designed to pump fluid and measure the amount of fluid used in these procedures.
Indications for Use The Hysteroscopic Fluid Management System is a device intended to provide liquid distension of the uterus for diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy, and to monitor the volume differential between the irrigation fluid flowing into and out of the uterus.
Contraindications Use of this device for intrauterine distension is contraindicated whenever hysteroscopy is contraindicated. Relative contraindications to endometrial ablation: surgical skill (“acute technical”). 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 Relative contraindications to hysteroscopic myomectomy: • Surgical skill (see above) • Severe anemia • Inability to circumnavigate the myoma (re: myoma size), predominantly intramural myomas with small submucous components.
Warnings • This manual does not provide a detailed description of procedure techniques, nor is it suitable for introducing a beginner to this surgical technique. Medical accessories and devices may be used only by physicians and medical assistants under the direction of a physician with the appropriate technical qualification. • Read these instructions completely prior to use. • DANGER: Risk of explosion if used in the presence of flammable anesthetics. • Condensation/water penetration: Protect the system from moisture. Do not use if moisture has penetrated the system. • To prevent electrical shock, do not open the irrigation pump control unit or the fluid monitor unit. Refer servicing to authorized service personnel. • Tube sets are provided sterile and are for single use only. Do not reuse. Do not resterilize. Prior to use, inspect the product package for signs of damage or tampering. If damaged, do not use. Discard any opened and unused product. • Work exclusively with sterile substances, sterile fluids, and sterile accessories. • The volume of the irrigation fluid entering and leaving the patient has to be strictly monitored. If a low viscosity liquid distension 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. Refer to the labelling of the irrigation fluid used for additional information. • Only sterile saline can be used with the Smith & Nephew TRUCLEAR™ System. • The system must only be used with hysteroscopes and resectoscopes designed for the intended surgical procedure. The scopes must comply with the most recent versions of EN 60601-2-18. • If this unit is configured as part of a system, the entire system should be tested for compliance with IEC 60601-1-1. • If the leakage current of the configured system exceeds the limits of IEC 60601-1-1, install an appropriately rated UL 60601-1/IEC 60601-1 approved isolation transformer and retest the system.

Warnings (continued)
• The use of accessory equipment not complying with the equivalent safety requirements of this equipment may lead to a reduced level of safety of the resulting system. Consideration relating to the choice shall include: – Use of the accessory in the patient vicinity. – Evidence that the safety certification of the accessory has been performed in accordance with UL 60601-1/IEC 60601-1. • The instrument detection process must only be performed outside of the patient. The hysteroscope or resectoscope must be held at the same height as the height at which the procedure is to be performed. • This system is intended only for use with plastic fluid canisters and fluid bags. Glass canisters or bottles may break, and there is a risk of implosion. • Use of bags or canisters not approved for this system, or large and/or lopsided loads, may cause the device to tip over. • In the event the irrigation pump fails during a procedure, a replacement control unit and accessories should be available. • If a system deficiency is suspected, or if the system fails to monitor the indicated fluid levels, stop using the system until it has been checked by authorized service personnel. • If obvious defects are present, especially at the power cord receptacle or power cord, the control unit should not be used. • For protection against fire hazard, replace control unit fuses only with fuses of the same type and rating. • Stop the device using the Start/Stop button if the scope is changed during surgery. • Intrauterine distension can usually be accomplished with pressures in the range of 35–75 mmHg. Unless the systemic blood pressure is excessive, it is seldom necessary to use pressure greater than 75–80 mmHg. • Intrauterine pressure should be maintained as low as possible to allow adequate distension while minimizing the risk of fluid, air, and/or gas intravasation. • Fluid Overload (Hyperhydration): By passing through the uterus, irrigation fluids may end up in the blood system or in the patient’s tissue, especially in cases of overpressure, a lengthy procedure, or perforation of the uterine cavity. The physician bears responsibility for monitoring and assessment of these and all other potentially related factors. • An air embolism can be the result of air contained in the tube set. Ensure there is always fluid in the bag to prevent air from being delivered into the patient.
• It is necessary to monitor the amount of irrigation fluid left in the patient and the concentration of sodium in the blood serum. The calculation of the amount of irrigation fluid left in the patient is the physician’s responsibility. • Resetting the FLUID DEFICIT display is to be done at the physician’s discretion. • If the intrauterine pressure does not respond to an increase in set pressure, this may indicate a perforation of the uterine cavity. There is danger of internal bleeding. Examine the uterus for possible injuries. • In the event of a power outage, the deficit and inflow values are lost. • The complete fluid monitor system is composed of a scale system and a carrier plate stand, each of which includes its own components. To ensure the accuracy of fluid measurement, these individual components must not touch one another. • Fluid bags must be hung to the rear of the fluid bag deflector to allow for accurate accountability of irrigation fluid usage. • Ensure that fluid bags hang freely. They must not be supported from the bottom, or the fluid deficit will not be measured accurately. • When spiking the bag, do not pull or lift the bag as it may result in an inaccurate deficit reading. • Any contact with the scale system, including a bag or collection system canister exchange, must be performed quickly and with minimal vibration. • To ensure accurate measurements, do not place any items in areas that are weight-sensitive (fluid bag holder or top of fluid collection system canisters). • Ensure neither the power cord nor the equipotential cable touch any part of the scale system, including fluid collection system canisters. This may lead to an error in monitoring the fluid deficit. The control unit may only be operated with angular equipotential MC plugs. • Pressing the On/Off button does not disconnect the control unit from the power source. This requires removing the power plug from the rear of the control unit. • To avoid the risk of electrical shock, connect the power cord to a properly wired grounding receptacle only. • Ensure that all components are properly aligned. • Ensure that the two support poles are properly aligned with the load controller bracket and the bracket is tightened. • Ensure that the O-ring in the load controller bracket is properly seated and does not touch the scale system support pole.

Connect the other end of the resectoscope outflow tubing to the first vacuum canister. 3. Using the connection tubing (Figure 14, 21 ), connect the resectoscope vacuum canisters in series as shown (Figure 14, 21 ). 4. Connect the last canister in the series to the hysteroscopic vacuum regulator using the vacuum port on the canister lid. 5. Connect the vacuum regulator to a vacuum source such as wall suction or a stand-alone vacuum pump. 6. Ensure that the vacuum regulator is turned on. In order to achieve vacuum, all canister lids, caps, and interconnecting tubes must be securely attached.
Verify Tubing Connections Once all tubing is connected, ascertain that all connections are securely attached; that there are no bends, kinks, or sharp turns in the tubing; and that the tubing has not been routed nor supported near sharp objects. WARNING: Ensure that the O-ring in the load controller bracket is properly seated and does not touch the scale system support pole. CAUTION: Do not step on, stand on, or roll objects over any tubing. Avoid high traffic areas where tubing may be subjected to detachment. Note: Ensure that the bags, tubes, collection system canisters, or other parts of the scale system do not come into contact with the irrigation pump control unit, the carrier plate, the carrier plate support pole, or the roller base.
Confirm Scope Connection 1. Verify that the scope inflow stopcock is completely open. 2. Refer to the manufacturer’s Instructions for Use for additional information. WARNING: The system must only be used with hysteroscopes and resectoscopes designed for the intended surgical procedure. The scopes must comply with the most recent versions of EN 60601-2-18.
Operation Plug into a Power Source Plug the pump control unit power cord into an appropriate power source. A potential equalization connection is only ensured if the control unit is connected via a properly installed hospital-grade receptacle. WARNING: If obvious defects are present, especially at the power cord receptacle or power cord, the control unit should not be used. Each time the power cord is plugged into a power source, the Stand-By Mode LED, On/Off LED, and Service Indicator are illuminated; the control unit initializes; and the control unit conducts a self-test. The Stand-By Mode LED remains illuminated as long as the control unit is connected to a power source.
Turn Pump Control Unit On Read all warnings and cautions, and to understand all system information including controls, functions, and safety features prior to turning on the control unit. If the control unit is already plugged in but has been turned off (only the Stand-By Mode LED is illuminated), press the On/Off button to turn the control unit on. The control unit and fluid monitor unit initialize and the system conducts a self-test. The service indicator on the control unit remains illuminated during this time. At the end of the brief self-test, the control unit beeps three times, then the fluid monitor unit beeps three times. Approximately five seconds later the following default values appear in the pump control unit displays: IU PRESSURE:
0 mmHg
SET PRESSURE:
60 mmHg
MAX FLOW:
700 ml/min
Note: Pressure and flow are reset to default values whenever the control unit is switched on. The displays on the fluid monitor unit should read: FLUID DEFICIT:
0 ml
TOTAL VOLUME:

Operation (continued)
Adjust Pump Pressure and Flow Rate Pump Pressure Use the Up/Down buttons under the SET PRESSURE display: Depress button briefly: adjusts set pressure in increments of 5 mmHg. Depress button and hold: adjusts set pressure in increments of 10 mmHg. While increasing the set pressure, the SET PRESSURE display flashes and an alarm sounds when the safety threshold of 100 mmHg is reached. After two seconds, pressure may be increased again to a maximum of 120 mmHg.
Flow Rate Use the Up/Down buttons under the MAX FLOW display: Depress button briefly: adjusts flow rate in increments of 10 ml/min. Depress button and hold: adjusts flow rate in increments of 20 ml/min.
Instrument Detection The pump control unit optimizes pressure measurement using the instrument detection function. The instrument detection function uses inflow characteristics to ensure that accurate intrauterine pressure is created and maintained. When using the Smith & Nephew TRUCLEAR™ System, the instrument detection process can be achieved by using either a Smith & Nephew disposable hysteroscopic blade or a Smith & Nephew hysteroscope insert.* WARNING: The instrument detection process must only be performed outside of the patient. The hysteroscope or resectoscope must be held at the same height as the height at which the procedure is to be performed. Note: If instrument detection is performed 12" (30 cm) below patient height, the actual intrauterine pressure will be less than the IU PRESSURE display by 22 mmHg.
Start Pump Operation Refer to the Preoperative Setup section of this manual for instructions on inserting and connecting all tubing, fluid bags, and devices. 1. Open the clamps on the irrigation inflow tubing.
4. The instrument detection process runs for approximately 30 seconds. A long beep signals the start of the instrument detection process. The irrigation pressure value is displayed in the IU PRESSURE display during this process.
• If detection is successful, the control unit emits another long beep, the Start/Stop LED glows continuously and fluid flows continuously. Fluid flow can be interrupted only by closing the hysteroscope inflow stopcock. If an attempt is made to stop the flow using the Stop/Start button, the instrument detection process must be repeated. • In case of error or malfunction the IU PRESSURE display depicts IE. The control unit emits five short warning beeps and then switches to the stop mode. • When repeating the instrument detection process, ensure both the working channel and inflow stopcocks are completely open, and that the instrument assembly is held at the proper height. • If pump is being restarted after a previous successful instrument detection, refer to the Restart Pump Operation section of this manual to eliminate tube priming step. 5. The IU PRESSURE display shows the current measured value. Note: If the pressure chamber is not fully inserted and the Start/Stop button is pressed, the control unit emits three short warning beeps; the roller wheel does not turn; and the Start/Stop LED does not illuminate. Refer to Insert the Roller Tubing in the Preoperative Setup section of this manual.
Stop Pump Operation Press the Start/Stop button again. The irrigation process is stopped. The current measured value continues to be displayed in the IU PRESSURE display.
Restart Pump Operation If pump has been operating and tube set is purged of air, it is possible to restart the pump without the pump air purging cycle. 1. Press and hold the Start/Stop button for >2 seconds; a double “beep” should sound. 2. The Start/Stop LED illuminates and flashes. 3. After a short delay (~ 2 seconds), the instrument detection process is performed.
2. Hold the connected hysteroscope assembly at the height of the roller wheel on the fluid management system control unit. 3. Press the Start/Stop button to start the irrigation process: – The Start/Stop LED flashes; – The control unit beeps once.
