6

General Information

WARNING! Replace the fuse Replace the fuse only with a fuse provided by the manufacturer (see chapter 14 Accessories).

en

WARNING! Professional qualification This manual does not include descriptions or instructions for surgical procedures/techniques. It is also not suitable for training physicians in the use of surgical techniques. Medical accessories and devices may be used only by physicians and medical assistants under the direction of a physician with the appropriate technical qualification.

WARNING! Automatic device self-test The device self-test must be performed prior to each surgery. Because the device self-test is performed during initial start up, the unit must be power cycled (off/ on) prior to each surgery.

WARNING! Sterile mediums and accessories Always work exclusively with sterile substances and mediums, sterile fluids, and sterile accessories if so indicated.

WARNING! Replacement device and accessories In case the device or any of the accessories fail during surgery, a replacement device and replacement accessories should be kept within close proximity to be able to finish the operation with the replacement components.

WARNING! Cleaning the device Do not sterilize the device.

WARNING! Device defect If a device defect is suspected or confirmed, do not use it. Make sure the device can no longer be used until a qualified service technician conducts the appropriate tests and repairs.

WARNING! 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.

7

General Information

WARNING! 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.

en

WARNING! Backflow Body secretions or contaminated gas can flow counter to the insufflation direction and block the insufflation filter, if • the actual pressure is higher than the nominal pressure or • the automatic venting valve is activated.

WARNING! 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 procedures should be performed with a gas flow of 4 to 10 l/min. An even lower gas flow is recommended for diagnostic purposes.

WARNING! 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 4.4.1 Connecting a Gas Bottle).

WARNING! Gas supply Maintain adequate gas supply at all times.

WARNING! 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.

WARNING! 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.

8

General Information

WARNING! The insufflation of CO2 should be done carefully and while monitoring the patient's response. The user, particularly the anesthetist, should be informed about possible cardiovascular and respiratory problems of the patient and monitor these intra-operatively.

en

WARNING! Medically pure CO2 Make sure to use only medically pure CO2. Other gases (e.g., helium, N2O, argon), mixtures of gases, gases with entrapped liquids, or polluted gases must not be used with this device.

WARNING! For the safety of the patient please fill the tube set with CO2 gas prior to beginning the insufflation by activating the insufflation for a few seconds and then turning it off again before introducing the insufflation instrument to the cavity and beginning the surgery.

WARNING! Lowest flow and pressure Depending on age and health condition of the patient, the smallest possible flow and pressure for establishing the pneumoperitoneum or pneumorectum should be selected. It is recommended not to exceed insufflation pressures of 15 mmHg in transanal minimally invasive surgery procedures.

WARNING! The venting rate of the automatic venting system is limited. Always monitor the actual pressure when using additional insufflation sources.

WARNING! 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.

WARNING! 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.

General Information

3.3.2

en

Warnings Standard and High Flow/Bariatric Operating Mode

WARNING! 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).

WARNING! 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 mmHg. Pressure values above 15 mmHg are required for only a few cases but do increase the risk of intravasation. Never exceed the maximum intra-abdominal pressure of 30 mmHg.

WARNING! 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

WARNING! 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. Therefore, you must always monitor the patient's body temperature during the entire insufflation process. Make especially sure that the following, hypothermia-fostering, surgical conditions are avoided as best as possible: • High gas flow due to large leaks • Long surgeries • Use of irrigation and infusion solutions that are not preheated to body temperature.

WARNING! 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). • Dehydration can be reduced with the use of gas that is humidified and prewarmed.

10

General Information

WARNING! Embolism/insufflation of internal organs Improper placement of the insufflation instrument could cause gas penetrating a vessel or an internal organ, resulting in air or CO2 embolisms. To reduce the risk, use a low flow rate for the first insufflation 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.

en

WARNING! Subcutaneous emphysema Incorrect placement of a cannula or a trocar into subcutaneous tissue may lead to emphysema. To reduce the risk, use a low gas flow rate for the first insufflation and ensure that the insufflation instrument is correctly positioned. Long surgeries, the use of many access points, duration and size of leaks at these points may also contribute to emphysema. Be sure to close leakages in trocar accesses immediately.

WARNING! Subcutaneous emphysema When puncturing the thicker abdominal wall of morbidly obese patients with the Veress cannula or the trocar, carefully monitor the correct position of the instrument in the abdomen.

WARNING! Additional insufflation sources/automatic venting system Make sure the automatic venting system is activated (see chapter 7 Menu (Overview)). 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.

WARNING! Altered Respiratory Physiology Always monitor the patient's respiratory functions during the entire surgery. The larger body mass supported by the thoracic cage and the larger amount of fat in the abdominal cavity may reduce the elasticity of the thoracic wall. In addition, the increased intra-abdominal pressure secondary to insufflation may alter the normal physiological lung parameters thus resulting in a reduction of the functional lung volume. Shallow, rapid breathing is symptomatic of this condition. Even modest physical stress causes a tremendous increased demand for oxygen, which stands in contrast to the ineffective respiratory musculature that requires more oxygen because it must overcome the reduced elasticity of the thoracic cage. The functional capacity of the lungs is small and even moderate stress can lead to respiratory failure.

WARNING! CO2 supersaturation To avoid generating CO2 supersaturation, an increased level of respiratory activity is required. An overweight patient's oxygen demand and carbon dioxide production are greater and increase faster under physical stress than do those of patients with normal body weight.

11

General Information

WARNING! Heart and cardiovascular insufficiency Constantly monitor all heart and cardiovascular parameters during surgery since morbidly obese patients have an increased risk of heart and cardiovascular insufficiencies.

en

3.3.3

Warnings Pediatric Operating Mode

WARNING! 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 (approximately 55 US pounds).

WARNING! Recommended work settings The flow values listed for laparoscopic procedures performed on newborns, infants, and children are only suggested values. The selection of the suitable flow and pressure values is solely the responsibility of the attending physician.

WARNING! Pneumolabium/pneumoscrotum Children are at risk of a pneumolabium or pneumoscrotum.

WARNING! Only those who are specially trained and qualified for procedures with children or endoscopic vessel harvesting procedures may use this device for these purposes.

WARNING! Increased airway pressure When laparoscopic procedures are performed on children, the increased intraabdominal pressure also increases the risk for higher airway pressures. Always strictly monitor respiration and airway function when performing laparoscopic procedures on children younger than 12 years of age.

WARNING! Compression of the vena cava When insufflating the abdomen of a child with medical CO2, an increased risk of compressing the vena cava exists. This risk can be reduced by monitoring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure during the entire surgery.

WARNING! Haemodynamic stability A laparoscopy performed on children younger than 12 years of age may result in problems of the haemodynamic system due to the CO2 content in the blood. It is recommended to increase the breathing rate of the patient and to work with low flow values and pressure values not exceeding 12 mmHg. The patient's circulatory system should be monitored at all times.

12

General Information

WARNING! Hypothermia The insufflation gas flow usually drops significantly after the target pressure has been reached and it is then only required to maintain the abdominal pressure. However, leaks within the abdomen or the instrument can lead to a constant gas flow of above 1 l/min. When operating on children younger than 12, a gas flow of more than 1 l/min poses an increased risk of hypothermia for the patient. Corresponding measures to prevent hypothermia include the use of blankets or prewarmed gas. The patient's body temperature has to be monitored at all times during surgery.

en

WARNING! Laparoscopy with CO2 should not be performed on children with cardiovascular problems.

WARNING! Because pediatric patients are especially susceptible to hypercapnia, it is recommended to establish an end-tidal CO2 monitoring routine.

3.3.4

Warnings Vessel Harvest Operating Mode

WARNING! 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.

WARNING! 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

WARNING! 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). • Dehydration can be reduced with the use of gas that is humidified and prewarmed.

Avoid high-pressure settings and close damaged blood vessels at once.

en

WARNING! Only those who are specially trained and qualified for procedures with children or endoscopic vessel harvesting procedures may use this device for these purposes.

WARNING! Before using the insufflator to endoscopically harvest vessels, please check whether the instrument used is intended for CO2 insufflation.

WARNING! 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.

3.3.5

Warnings TAMIS Operating Mode

WARNING! CO2 absorption CO2 is absorbed during insufflation (intravasation). This means the body absorbs part of the CO2 gas used for insufflation.
