Purpose of the Device

Purpose of the Device
The device serves to insufflate CO2 into the abdomen during a diagnostic or therapeutic laparoscopy. Please consult the instructional manual of your laparoscope for additional information and special application indications.
Intended Use
The insufflator has two operating options. The High Flow application limits the pressure to max. 30 mm Hg (mm mercury column) and the gas flow to max. 40 Ilmin.
High FlowApplication
The device measures the pressure within the abdomen in short intervals and continuously compares the nominal with the actual abdominal pressure. The function of the device is to maintain the nominal or set point pressure. Any overpressure within the abdomen is lowered to the preset nominal pressure by the automaticventing system. The Low Flow application limits the pressure to max. 20 mm Hg (mm mercury column) and the gas flowto max. 20 Ilmin.
Low Flow Application
The Low Flow application is specially designed for use on newborns, infants, and children. When used on children, it is recommended to control and adjust the device and the nominal flow based on the following factors:
Age Group
Weight
Flow Range
Children youngerthan 1 year
approx. 1-9kg
0.1 -0.5Ilmin
Children between 1 to 3 years
approx. 10-15kg
0.5 -1.0Ilmin
Children between 3 to 4years
approx. 16-19kg
1.0 -2.0Ilmin
Children between 4to 14years
2 20 kg
> 2.0 l/min
The nominal pressure cannot be reached if the nominalflow is set too low. Check for possible leaks.
1
Due t o the special operating method used during the Low Flow application (optional), the speed of equalizing the leak is slower than when using the High Flow application (lower effective flow in Low Flow application).

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 Ilmin when performinga laparoscopy on infants or patients weighing less than 25 kg.

Increased Airway Pressure/Compression of the Vena Cava When using the Low Flow application on children, an increased risk of high airway pressure and/or compression of the vena cava (low input syndrome) exists.
Positioningthe Patient Always position the patient lower than the device to prevent body fluids from leaking into the device. Intra-abdominal pressure can be increased and fluid can penetratethe insufflation tube if the patient is repositionedduring surgery. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the insufflation tube at the trocar. When the patient i s placed on an angle, shifting of internal tissue may block the insufflation channel. Always insufflatethrough the elevated side of the patient.
Idiosyncratic Reactions Patients with sickle cell anemia or pulmonary insufficiency may have a higher risk of metabolic imbalance related to excessive C 0 2 absorption (idiosyncratic reaction). -
-
CO2 Absorption CO2 is absorbed during insufflation (intravasation). lntravasation causes the body to absorb part of the CO2 gas used for insufflation. CO2 concentrationsin the blood or respiratory system that are too high can lead todeath 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 breathingwell. Sufficient respirationcan help avoid or limit problems with CO2. High pressure or high gas flow promote CO2 absorption.
Metabolic and Cardiac Reactions A pressureof more than 20 mm Hg can result in metabolic acidosis. This can lead to cardiac irregularities and the following symptoms : Reduced respiration with restricted diaphram function Reduction of venous reflux Reduced cardiac output Metabolic acidosis
stryker'
Hypothermia/Monitoring Body Temperature The gas flow can lead to a lowering of the patient's body temperature during insufflation. This in turn can cause heart and cardiovascular problems. Always monitor the patient's body temperature during the entire insufflation. Make especially sure that the following, hypothermia promoting, operation conditions are avoided as best as possible: *High gas flow due to large leaks Long surgeries U s e of cold (not preheated) irrigation and infusion solutions. The risk for hypothermia can be significantly reduced with the use of gas pre-warmedto body temperature.
Dehydration lnsufflation 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).
Embolism Improper placement of the insufflation instrument could cause insufflation of gas into a vessel, resulting in air or C 0 2 embolisms. To reduce the risk of air or COZ embolism, perform initial insufflation at a low flow rate and ensure that the insufflation instrument i s correctly positioned. Check the position of the insufflation instrument immediately if the actual pressure rapidly reaches the nominal pressurevalue. CO2 embolisms can also be caused by a high intra-abdominal pressure. Avoid high pressure settings and close damaged blood vessels at once.
Additional lnsufflation 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.
Disconnecting the lnsufflation 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 cylinder and/or when you stop the gas flow during the operation. If this happens, you must immediatelydisconnect the insufflation tube from the trocar or from the device.
Backflow Body secretion or contaminated gas can result in a backflow into the device, if *a filter is not used, *the actual pressure is higher than the nominal pressure or *the automatic venting valve is activated.

Gas Flow A high gas flow can be due to large leaks within the surgical system or instrument. This can result in an 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. It i s recommended to perform laparoscopies with the lowest gas flow possible.
Keep Filled C02 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 (cf. chapter 16 Error and Warning Messages, page 69).
Contamination Do not use device andlor accessories if signs of a contamination are detected. Make sure the devicelaccessoriescan no longer be operated until a qualified service technician conducts the appropriate tests and repairs.
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 C02 level in the air can cause the medical personnel to suffer fatigue symptoms, an inability to concentrate, unconsciousness, or even death.
Automatic Venting System The automatic venting system has a limited venting rate. Whenever you use additional insufflationsources, you should constantly monitor the intra-abdominal pressure.
Filter Use a newlsterile filter for each patient. You must work with a 0.2 pm two-way (retention rate 99.99 %) hydrophobic filter between patient and device. This should prevent bodily fluids from entering the device and also prevents impuritiesfrom possibly entering into the patient's body. Reducedflow capacity should be considered when using a hydrophobic filter. -

Connecting the Tube The tube outlet may only be connected to instruments which are intended for intra-abdominal CO2-insufflation.

Medically Pure C02 Make sure t o use only medically pure CO2. Other gases (i. e., helium, NzO, argon), mixtures of gases, high pressure compressed gases, gases with entrapped liquids, or polluted gases may not be used with this device.
