Ambu aScope Gastro Instrucciones De Uso página 12

This feature is commonly referred to as "self-sealing" feature or a "shut-off-filter", or similar
mechanism. Please note that a new suction canister and connection should be used for
each new procedure.
The aScope Gastro does not itself produce negative pressure and therefore an external
vacuum source (e.g. wall suction or medical grade suction pump) will be required to
operate the system. Standard suction tubings with a nominal diameter should be
sufficient, as long as they simply and securely fit over the standard size suction
connector of the aScope Gastro.
Nomenclature used in this section follows the established convention that each canister
utilized will have multiple connection ports labeled either "To Vacuum" or "To Patient".
However, it is the responsibility of the user to follow all third party manufacturer
instructions and guidance applicable to the endoscopic fluid management system
chosen for use with the aScope Gastro.
When using third party devices with the aScope Gastro always consult the instructions
for use accompanying the third party device.
Connection to the Insufflation/Rinsing System 4
The aScope Gastro is designed to work with a source of medical grade CO₂ for insufflation.
Connect the aScope Gastro using a standard disposable insufflation/rinsing fluid
management tubing set.
To perform patient examinations or procedures, all fluid containers (e.g. sterile water
bottle) must be properly and securely placed in order to prevent spillage, thereby
maintaining a safe working environment. Place the containers in the designated
locations and connect them according to the instructions in this section. Please note
that a new suction canister/sterile water bottle must be used for each new procedure.
•
If ancillary equipment is ON turn OFF.
•
Connect the fluid container's connection adapter to the aScope Gastro.
•
Confirm that the fluid container's connection adapter fits properly and that it cannot
be rotated.
• Turn the ancillary equipment back ON.
Connection to the Suction System 5
Regardless of the vacuum source chosen, the aScope Gastro will require the source to
provide a vacuum for the aScope Gastro to operate normally. Failure to provide the
minimum vacuum requirements could result in a decreased capacity in removing patient
waste and/or irrigation fluid.
• If ancillary equipment is ON turn OFF.
• Fit the end of the suction tubing securely over the suction connector located on the
aScope Gastro connector.
•
Connect the other end of the suction tubing from the suction connector of the
aScope Gastro to the external suction system (e.g. wall suction or medical suction pump).
•
Turn the ancillary equipment back ON.
Connection to the Auxiliary Water Jet System 5
•
The aScope Gastro has a Auxiliary Water Jet connector with an integrated one-way
valve to reduce the risk of backflow.
•
If ancillary equipment is ON turn OFF.
• Just connect the Auxiliary water tubing to the auxiliary water inlet located on the
aScope Gastro connector.
•
Confirm that the fluid container's connection adapter fits properly.
•
Turn the ancillary equipment back ON.
