Start gas heating: Press the Start/Stop button. The gas is heated automatically to
approximately 37 °C within approximately 10 minutes.
The message Gas heating defective! is displayed for 2 seconds in case of a func-
tion defect of the gas heater (e.g., cable flawed or broken, loose plug).
Check gas heating using a different tube. Should the error message be displayed
again, you can continue using the device without gas heating by observing the
risks for hypothermia. Check gas heating after surgery using a different tube.
If the message Gas heating defective! persists, call an authorized service techni-
cian to check the device.
The message display depicts the following displays in case of excess tempera-
ture:
Gas heating - over-temperature!
WARNING!
If the temperature sensor measures a gas temperature > 42° C, unplug the heat-
ing plug from the device. Hot gas in the abdomen can lead to serious injuries.
A warning signal is audible. Gas heating and insufflation are deactivated.
1. Disconnect the insufflation tube from the trocar or Veress needle.
2. Unplug the plug for the gas heating from the device.
3. Press the Start/Stop button. The device insufflates without heating the gas.
4. Let hot gas escape until the tube is only warm to the touch.
5. Continue operation without connecting gas heating.
6. Check gas heating after surgery using a different tube. Turn device off and on
again. Gas heating is reactivated.
7. Should the error message be displayed again, you can continue using the de-
vice without gas heating by observing the risks for hypothermia.
8. Call an authorized service technician to check the gas heating.
The following gas heater states are possible and displayed on the touch screen of
the device as a icon and corresponding message:
Description
Gas heating connected
Gas heating defective
Over temperature (>42°C / 108°F)
Information
Gas heating function is available.
Insufflation can be continued in this case but the heat-
ing function is not available.
Restart the device if you want to use the heating func-
tion. If the gas heating is still defective, have an autho-
rized service technician check or repair the device.
Insufflation is automatically stopped and the heating
function is deactivated. There are three options to con-
tinue insufflation:
• Wait until the temperature has decreased below
43°C, insufflation and heating will resume automati-
cally.
• Disconnect and reconnect tube set. If temperature is
below 43°C insufflation with heating can be resumed
(manual start).
• Exchange tube set with a new one.
