WARNING!
For the safety of the patient please fill the tube set with CO gas prior to begin-
2
ning the insufflation by activating the insufflation for a few seconds and then
turning it off again before introducing the insufflation instrument to the cavity
and beginning the surgery.
WARNING!
Lowest flow and pressure
Depending on age and health condition of the patient, the smallest possible flow
and pressure for establishing the pneumoperitoneum or pneumorectum should
be selected. It is recommended not to exceed insufflation pressures of 15 mmHg
in transanal minimally invasive surgery procedures.
WARNING!
The venting rate of the automatic venting system is limited. Always monitor the
actual pressure when using additional insufflation sources.
WARNING!
Connecting the tube
Always use the proper tube set for the device. The tube outlet may only be con-
nected to instruments which are intended for intra-abdominal CO insufflation.

WARNING!
Electronic device control
