This insufflator in only intended for use in diagnostic procedures or laparoscopic opera-
tions. Any use outside of these areas constitutes improper use of the product and the user will
therefore be considered responsible for such use. The manufacturer does not accept any liability
in this case. This device must only be used by qualified staff. The surgeon and anaesthesiologist
shall at all times be responsible for the apparatus and the anaesthesiologist shall undertake
special vigilance of gas levels in the blood. The safety features on this device are in no way
intended to reduce the responsibility of medical staff with respect to constant attention to the
screen and continuous monitoring of the patient.
6.1 ACTiVATiOn
Turn the switch [S2] to position "1"; the apparatus is now in standby mode (the indicator light
on the Standby button [S1] should be flashing, and a logo should appear on the touch screen
[L1]);
Press the Standby button [S1] or the touch screen to start the apparatus (the indicator light co-
mes on and the calibration phase, which lasts for a few seconds, starts). Pressing the Standby
button again puts the device back in standby mode.
Note: If the insufflator is connected to the Sopro camera, activating the camera will automatical-
ly activate the insufflator and vice-versa. However, the insufflator can be put in standby mode,
or turned on, independently.
6.2 FiTTing The TUBing hOse
The manufacturer cannot be deemed responsible for reactions or malfunctions asso-
ciated with the use of damaged or inappropriate tubing hoses.
Do not use the tubing hose if its packaging is damaged.
The sterile tubing hoses are disposable; do not re-sterilise them.
The use of a hydrophobic bacterial filter is essential for preventing cross-contamination
between patients. It must be replaced for each patient.
Open the first pack of film wrapping on the tubing hoses. Hand the second one to the staff in
a sterile environment.
Keep the sterilised tubing hose for the patient in the operating theatre.
Connect the insufflation portion of the tubing hose to the gas outlet on the insufflator [C2] and
the external desufflation portion of the tubing hose to the hole provided for this purpose.
The tubing hose must be free when inserted, without any knots, and must not be
obstructed.
