Connect the (sterile) distal end to the patient.,
We recommend connecting the patient-end of the tubing hose to a Veress needle in the first
phase. This first phase corresponds to low-flow insufflation (max. 2L/min) until the pressure set-
point is reached. Once the pressure setpoint has been reached, you can move on to the second
phase consisting of high-flow mode (up to 45L/min) with the patient-end tubing hose connected
to the trocar.
The use of a Veress needle is not recommended for high-flow mode.
This operation must be carried out by a surgeon or under his supervision.
This insufflator is equipped with automatic flow rate regulation to attain and maintain a pressure
setpoint, and therefore the pneumoperitoneum
Use the " + " and " - " buttons to select the pressure desired in the abdominal cavity.
The pressure generally used is 12 mm Hg.
As a precautionary measure, you will be asked to confirm the pressure if you wish to exceed
the 15 mm Hg threshold.
The pressure can be adjusted to a maximum of 20 mm Hg in Standard mode, and to 25 mm
Hg in bariatric mode.
Press the "RUN" button on the interface menu to start insufflation. A chronometer is displayed
on the screen when insufflation is in progress.
is in progress. To access it, insufflation must be halted by clicking the "STOP" button.
Insufflation begins in low-flow mode (2 l/min), so that the pneumoperitoneum is created in the
safest of conditions. When the low flow rate is activated, the "low flow rate" button on the in-
terface is displayed in blue.
The high flow rate mode is activated manually by pressing the corresponding button on the
interface menu or automatically if automatic change-over is activated (in the menu parameters).
Automatic change-over is used to automatically change from low-flow mode to high-flow mode
once the pressure setpoint has been reached. When the high flow rate is activated, the "high
flow rate" button is displayed in blue.
