High Flow operating mode, Pediatric operating mode, and Bariatric operating mode of the device are used in conjunction with a laparoscope to fill and distend a peritoneal cavity with gas. Pediatric operating mode is designed specifically for use on newborns, infants, and children. Vessel Harvest operating mode is used to create a cavity along the saphenous vein and/or the radial artery during an endoscopic vessel harvesting procedure.
EN
Intended use
Two alternative configurations are provided: 1. PNEUMO SURE High Flow Insufflator contains the applications High Flow operating mode -> Insufflation for adults and the Pediatric operating mode -> Insufflation for infants and children. 2. PNEUMO SURE XL High Flow Insufflator contains the applications High Flow operating mode -> Insufflation for adults and the Pediatric operating mode -> Insufflation for infants and children, Bariatric operating mode -> Insufflation for morbidly obese patients, Vessel Harvest operating mode -> Insufflation for Vessel Harvesting procedure. The PNEUMO SURE XL configuration is available directly or via software upgrade. High Flow operating mode, Pediatric operating mode, and Bariatric operating mode of the device are used in conjunction with a laparoscope to fill and distend a peritoneal cavity with gas. Bariatric operating mode is used for laparoscopic surgery on morbidly obese patients. Vessel Harvesting operating mode is used to create a cavity along the saphenous vein and/or the radial artery during an endoscopic vessel harvesting procedure.
3.1
Laparoscopy Applications
3.1.1
Using High Flow Operating Mode
High Flow operating mode is designed explicitly for laparoscopies performed on normal weight and slightly obese (BMI < 30 kg/m2) patients over the age of 14. While in High Flow operating mode, the insufflator limits the pressure to max. 30 mm Hg and the gas flow rate to max. 40 l/min. The device measures the pressure within the abdomen and compares the nominal with the actual abdominal pressure. The function of the device is to maintain the nominal pressure. Any overpressure within the abdomen is lowered to the preset nominal pressure by the automatic venting system.
3.1.2
Using Pediatric Operating Mode
Pediatric operating mode is designed specifically for use on newborns, infants, and children. While in Pediatric operating mode, the insufflator limits the pressure to max. 20 mm Hg and the gas flow rate to max. 20 l/min. When used on children, the device should be set depending on the selected nominal flow and the age and weight of the treated child as outlined in the table below:
Age Group
Weight
Flow Range
Children younger than 1 year
approx. 1-9 kg
0.1 -0.5 l/min
Children between 1 and 3 years
approx. 10-15 kg
0.5 -1.0 l/min
Children between 3 and 4 years
approx. 16-19 kg
1.0 -2.0 l/min
Children between 4 and 14 years > 20 kg
> 2.0 l/min
If the nominal flow is set too low, the nominal pressure cannot be reached. Check for possible leaks. Due to the special operating method used during the Pediatric application, the speed of equalizing the leak is slower than when using the High
7
Scope of application
Flow application (lower effective flow in the Pediatric application).
EN
3.1.3
Using Bariatric Operating Mode
Bariatric operating mode is used for laparoscopies performed on severely overweight (BMI > 30 kg/m2) adults. While in Bariatric mode, the insufflator limits the pressure to max. 30 mm Hg and the gas flow to max. 45 l/min. This operating mode delivers rapid insufflation of large volumes.
3.1.4 Contraindications
Contraindications for Laparoscopy Applications
The device may not be used to fill an abdomen with CO2 if a laparoscopy is contraindicated. Please consult the manual of your laparoscope for absolute and relative contraindications. The device is not suitable for hysteroscopic insufflations, i.e., it may not be used to distend the uterus. The gas flow may not exceed 14 l/min when performing a laparoscopy on infants or patients weighing less than 25 kilos.
3.2
Using Vessel Harvest Operating Mode
DANGER! Before using the insufflator to harvest vessels, please check whether the used instrument is intended for surgical procedures using CO2.
Vessel Harvest operating mode is designed for the controlled insufflation of medical-grade CO2 when harvesting vessels (veins and arteries) during a minimally invasive procedure within the scope of heart bypass surgery. While in Vessel Harvest operating mode, the insufflator limits the pressure to max. 20 mm Hg and the gas flow rate to max. 10 l/min. Surgery to harvest vessels requires the use of a special instrument. Contraindications
The device may not be used for the endoscopic harvesting of vessels if this surgical application is contraindicated. Please consult the manual of the instrument for absolute and relative contraindications.
3.3
General Device-Inherent Dangers
DANGER! Positioning the patient Always position the patient lower than the device to prevent body fluids from leaking into the insufflation tube. Actual pressure may increase and fluid may penetrate the insufflation tube if the patient is repositioned during surgery. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the insufflation tube. When the patient is repositioned onto his or her side, internal tissue may block the insufflation channel. Always insufflate through the elevated side of the patient.
DANGER! Removing the insufflation tube Always disconnect the insufflation tube after ending surgery and before switching off the device to prevent backflow of bodily fluids. Fluid may penetrate the insufflation tube whenever you change the gas bottle and/or when you stop the gas flow during the operation. If this happens, you must immediately disconnect the insufflation tube from the trocar or from the device.
DANGER! Backflow Body secretions or contaminated gas may backflow into the device through the insufflation tube if
8
Scope of application
• a filter is not used, • the actual pressure is higher than the nominal pressure or • the automatic venting valve is activated.
EN
DANGER! Gas flow A high gas flow can occur due to large leaks within the surgical system or instrument. This can result in a false actual pressure reading, which in turn may endanger the patient. In case of a disrupted gas flow, you should therefore inspect device, tube, and instruments immediately. Surgical applications should be carried out with a gas flow of 4-10 l/min. An even lower gas flow is recommended for diagnostic purposes. It is recommended to perform endoscopies with the lowest gas flow possible.
DANGER! Keep filled CO2 bottle on hand Always keep a filled CO2 bottle on hand ready for replacement. This avoids having to interrupt surgery due to a lack of insufflation gas (see chapter 4.1.1 Connecting a Gas Bottle).
DANGER! Contamination Do not use device and/or accessories if signs of contamination are detected. Make sure the device or/and accessories can no longer be operated until a qualified service technician conducts the appropriate tests and repairs.
DANGER! Fatigue symptoms When there is a high level of CO2 consumption, you should make sure to supply the operating area with enough fresh air, since an increasing CO2 level in the air can cause the medical personnel to suffer fatigue symptoms, an inability to concentrate, unconsciousness, or even death.
DANGER! The venting rate of the automatic venting system is limited. Always monitor the actual pressure when using additional insufflation sources.
DANGER! Contaminated filter Replace a contaminated filter immediately during surgery to ensure unhindered gas flow.
DANGER! Connecting the tube Always use the proper tube set for the device. The tube outlet may only be connected to instruments which are intended for intra-abdominal CO2-insufflation.
9
Scope of application
DANGER! Electronic device control Do not close the valve at the trocar sleeve during surgery. The electronic control unit of the device adjusts the actual pressure as desired.
EN
DANGER! Medically pure CO2 Make sure to use only medically pure CO2. Other gases (i.e., helium, N2O, argon), mixtures of gases, high pressure compressed gases, gases with entrapped liquids, or polluted gases must not be used with this device.
DANGER! Service connection Connected devices have to comply with the EN 60950 standard. Do not connect a device to the service connection during surgery.
WARNING! Electrical Interference (See chapter 14 Electromagnetic compatibility). Electrical interference with other devices or instruments was practically eliminated when developing this devices and none was detected during testing. However, if you still detect or suspect such interference, please follow these suggestions: • Move this, the other or both devices to a different location • Increase distance between used devices • Consult an electro-medical expert
DANGER! Peripheral devices Additional peripheral equipment connected to interfaces of the medical monitor has to meet the requirements of the following specifications: EN 60601-2-18 for endoscopic devices and EN 60601-1 for electrical medical devices. All configurations have to comply with EN 60601-1-1 specifications. Whoever connects additional equipment to signal output or signal input is considered the system configurator and as such is responsible for complying with requirements of the standard EN 60601-1-1.
3.3.1
Device-Inherent Dangers - Laparoscopy
DANGER! Because pediatric patients are especially susceptible to hypercapnia, it is recommended to establish an end-tidal CO2 monitoring routine.
DANGER! Gas flow limit The gas flow may not exceed 14 l/min when performing a laparoscopy on newborns or patients weighing less than 25 kg (approx. 55 US pounds).
10
Scope of application
DANGER! Pneumolabium/pneumoscrotum Children are at risk of a pneumolabium or pneumoscrotum.
EN
DANGER! Increased airway pressure/compression of the vena cava When using the pediatric application of the device on children, an increased risk of high airway pressure and/or compression of the vena cava (low input syndrome) exists.
DANGER! Idiosyncratic reactions Patients with sickle cell anemia or pulmonary insufficiency may have a higher risk of metabolic imbalance related to excessive CO2 absorption (idiosyncratic reaction).
DANGER! CO2 absorption CO2 is absorbed during insufflation (intravasation). This means the body absorbs part of the CO2 gas used for insufflation. CO2 concentrations in the blood or respiratory system that are too high can lead to death of the patient in extreme cases. To lower this risk, always carefully and closely monitor the patient's vital signs during the entire insufflation process and make sure patient is breathing well. Sufficient respiration can help avoid or limit problems with CO2. High pressure or a high gas flow promotes CO2 absorption. The abdomen is sufficiently distended using a pressure between 10 to 15 mm Hg. Pressure values above 15 mm Hg are required for only a few cases but do increase the risk of intravasation. Never exceed the max. intra-abdominal pressure of 30 mm Hg.
DANGER! Metabolic and cardiac reactions Insufflating CO2 may result in metabolic acidosis. This can lead to cardiac irregularities expressed with the following symptoms: • Reduced respiration with restricted diaphram function • Hypercapnia • Reduction of venous reflux • Reduced cardiac output • Metabolic acidosis
DANGER! Hypothermia/monitoring body temperature The gas flow can lead to a lowering of the patient's body temperature during insufflation. Hypothermia during insufflation can cause heart and cardiovascular problems. The risk for hypothermia can be significantly reduced with the use of gas that is pre-warmed to body temperature. Always monitor the patient's body temperature during the entire insufflation. Make especially sure that the following, hypothermia promoting, surgical conditions are avoided as best as possible: • High gas flow due to large leaks • Long surgeries • Use of cold (not preheated) irrigation and infusion solutions
11
Scope of application
DANGER! Dehydration Insufflation can lead to dehydration of the tissue. This can result in organ tissue damage and cardiovascular reactions of the patient. Long surgeries and large leaks increase the risk of dehydration (especially at the insertion points of the trocars or when changing instruments).
EN
DANGER! Embolism Improper placement of the insufflation instrument could cause insufflation of gas into a vessel, resulting in air or CO2 embolisms. To reduce the risk of air or CO2 embolism, perform initial insufflation at a low flow rate and ensure that the insufflation instrument is correctly positioned. Check the position of the insufflation instrument immediately if the actual pressure rapidly reaches the nominal pressure value. CO2 embolisms can also be caused by a high intra-abdominal pressure. Avoid high-pressure settings and close damaged blood vessels at once.
DANGER! Additional insufflation sources The use of additional insufflation sources increases the intra-abdominal pressure. Continuously monitor intra-abdominal pressure over the course of the entire insufflation if additional sources are used.
DANGER! Automatic venting system Make sure the automatic venting system is activated (see chapter 10 Configuration Menu (Overview), page 58) when using Pediatric application and an additional insufflation source. It is not possible to use an additional insufflation source when the automatic venting system is deactivated.
DANGER! Only specially trained and qualified personnel may use this device on children or for the endoscopic vessel harvesting procedure.
3.3.2
Device-Inherent Dangers - Vessel Harvesting
DANGER! Before using the insufflator to endoscopic harvest vessels, please check whether the used instrument is intended for CO2 insufflation.
DANGER! Pneumoperitoneum When a vessel is harvested from the leg of a patient with a perforated groin, it is possible for CO2 to reach the abdomen and cause a pneumoperitoneum. Make sure the abdomen does not fill with CO2 during surgery.
DANGER! Idiosyncratic reactions Patients with sickle cell anemia or pulmonary insufficiency may have a higher risk of metabolic imbalance related to excessive CO2 absorption (idiosyncratic
12
Scope of application
reaction).
EN
DANGER! CO2 absorption Due to the special surgical procedures - start of the heart bypass operation, and the endoscopic removal of the vessel - special care has to be taken as CO2 is always absorbed through the tissue of the patient during insufflation (intravasation). This means the body absorbs part of the CO2 gas used for insufflation. CO2 concentrations in the blood or respiratory system that are too high can lead to death of the patient in extreme cases. To lower this risk, always carefully and closely monitor the patient's vital signs during the entire insufflation process and make sure patient is breathing well. Sufficient respiration can help avoid or limit problems with CO2. High pressure or a high gas flow promotes CO2 absorption.
DANGER! Metabolic and cardiac reactions Due to the special surgical conditions - start of the heart bypass surgery and vessel harvesting - it is especially important to remember the existing risk of metabolic acidosis when insufflating with CO2. This can lead to cardiac irregularities expressed with the following symptoms: • Reduced respiration with restricted diaphram function • Hypercapnia • Reduction of venous reflux • Reduced cardiac output • Metabolic acidosis
DANGER! Dehydration Insufflation can lead to dehydration of the tissue. This can result in organ tissue damage and cardiovascular reactions of the patient. Long surgeries and large leaks increase the risk of dehydration (especially at the insertion points of the trocars or when changing instruments).
DANGER! Embolism Improper placement of the insufflation instrument could cause insufflation of gas into a vessel, resulting in air or CO2 embolisms. To reduce the risk of air or CO2 embolism, perform initial insufflation at a low flow rate and ensure that the insufflation instrument is correctly positioned. Check the position of the insufflation instrument immediately if the actual pressure rapidly reaches the nominal pressure value. CO2 embolisms can also be caused by a high pressure. Avoid high-pressure settings and close damaged blood vessels at once.
DANGER! Only specially trained and qualified personnel may use this device on children or for the endoscopic vessel harvesting procedure.
