Connecting the Outflow Tube Set
CAUTION!
Combination of low set pressures and excessive vacuum pressures
When using the Aquilex® Fluid Control System with tissue removal systems, e.g.
MyoSure®, the combination of low set pressures and excessive vacuum pressures
may result in a significant loss of intrauterine distension pressure which has the
potential to affect the visibility of the surgical field. Conversely, when employing a
high distension pressure, the deactivation of the tissue removal system can lead to
pressure spikes that can exceed 150 mmHg.
