Connecting the Vacuum Tubing

CAUTION!
When using the Aquilex System with MyoSure® or other morcellation systems,
the combination of low set pressures and high vacuum pressures may result in a
significant loss of intrauterine distension pressure which has the potential to af-
fect the visibility of the surgical field. Conversely, when employing high disten-
sion pressures, the deactivation of the MyoSure® or other morcellator system
can lead to pressure spikes that can exceed 150 mmHg. These situations may oc-
cur for a short time as the system automatically adjusts the flow rate to return
to the set intrauterine pressure.
1. Connect vacuum to the suction containers (using vacuum tube with hygiene
filter). This is done once during the initial set-up of the system, not prior to
each procedure.
• Low Vacuum Side (White)
·
Connect vacuum tube with white connectors to low vacuum port (1) Fig-
ure 5-4. This vacuum pump has a fixed vacuum pressure (
·
Use tandem tube ((5) Figure 5-4, Low vacuum tube) when two canisters
are serially connected to the same vacuum port.
