Ambu aScope Gastro Instrucciones De Uso página 12

4.3. Attaching ancillary equipment
The aScope Gastro is designed to work with most commonly available medical suction
and insufflation/rinsing fluid management systems. 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. As the aScope
Gastro has a standard suction connector, standard suction tubes are compatible with the
endoscope as long as a firm and tight connection is established. Nomenclature used in
this section follows the established convention whereby each container used has
multiple connection ports labelled either "To Vacuum" or "To Patient". However, it is the
responsibility of the user to consult and follow all third-party manufacturer instructions
and guidance applicable to the endoscopic fluid management system chosen for use
with the aScope Gastro. To perform patient examinations or procedures, all fluid
containers (sterile water bottles and suction containers) must be properly and securely
arranged in order to prevent spillage whereby maintaining a safe working environment.
Place the containers in the designated locations and connect them according to the
instructions in this section. 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 fluid management system
The aScope Gastro is designed to work with a source of medical grade CO₂ for insufflation.
Connect the aScope Gastro using an insufflation/rinsing fluid management tubing set.
A new disposable or sterilized reusable insufflation/rinsing fluid management tubing set
and disposable or sterilized reusable insufflation/rinsing water bottle is required for each
new procedure.
•
If ancillary equipment is ON turn OFF.
•
Connect the insufflation/rinsing fluid management tubing set to the insufflation/
rinsing connector.
• Confirm that the connector fits properly and that it cannot be rotated.
• Turn the ancillary equipment back ON.
Connection to the auxiliary water jet system
•
The aScope Gastro has an auxiliary water inlet with an integrated one-way valve to
reduce the risk of backflow.
•
If ancillary equipment is ON turn OFF.
•
Connect the irrigation tube to the auxiliary water inlet. A new disposable or sterilized
reusable irrigation tube and water bottle is required for each new procedure.
•
Confirm that the connector fits properly.
•
Turn the ancillary equipment back ON.
Connection to the suction system
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 suction capacity.
Irrespective of the chosen medical suction system, overflow protection must be a
feature of the suction container setup utilized to prevent fluids from entering the
endoscopic system. This feature is commonly referred to as "self-sealing" feature or a
"shut-off-filter", or similar mechanisms. Please note that a new disposable or sterilized
reusable suction tube and new disposable or sterilized reusable suction container is
required for each new procedure.
•
If ancillary equipment is ON turn OFF.
•
Once the irrigation tube is connected, fit the end of the suction tube securely over
the suction connector.
