Connecting the Outflow Tube Set

CAUTION!
When using the Aquilex 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 dis-
tension pressure, the deactivation of the tissue removal system can lead to pres-
sure spikes that can exceed 150 mmHg.
