Connecting and Disconnecting Pump Tubing
This section describes how to connect the pump tubing which includes inflow tubing for
irrigation, intermediary tubing for maintaining sterility in the sterile zone, and outflow tubing for
removing fluid from the joint .
WARNING! Do not reuse or re-sterilize. The FMS tubing is not designed to be
re-sterilized. Reprocessing may lead to changes in material characteristics such
as deformation and material degradation, which may affect the strength of the
device and compromise device performance. These risks may potentially affect
patient safety.
5.1

Connecting the Inflow Tubing

NOTE: This procedure may be used when operating the pump in either DUO (Irrigation,
Handpiece and Suction) or SOLO (Irrigation and Handpiece) modes.
The Inflow Tubing (Figure 6) can be used for an entire surgical day . Sterility is preserved only
if the tube installation procedures have been performed precisely .
WARNING! Discard all tubing unless using the Inflow Tubing with the one-way
valve. Refer to the appropriate procedure below.
