Function Test

WARNING!
Function test
The function test must be performed prior to each device use.
6.1

General Device and Setup Check

1. Perform a visual check of the devices. Do not use the system in case of obvious
damage.
2. Check the rollers of the roller wheel to make sure they move easily and smoothly.
3. Turn on the device, check whether power switch and indicators and displays
light up accordingly.
4. The device self-test must run successfully; there are no displayed error mes-
sages (see Section Turning On the Aquilex® System [} 28]).
5. The bags with the irrigation fluid must hang freely and may not touch the scale.
6. Check that all tube connections (vacuum/inflow/outflow) were made correctly
and are intact.
7. Check to make sure all tube connections are free of mechanical stresses and
are routed without snagging. The tube connections may not touch the scale.
Non-observance can lead to a distortion of the deficit calculation.
8. The automatic lumen calibration has been carried out successfully; there are no
displayed error messages (see Section Using the Pump during Surgery [} 35]).
9. Check for leaking irrigation fluid in the area of the pressure chamber.

10. Place the 1000 g weight on the right bag hook of the bag scale.
11. The display of the fluid deficit limit depicts the weight. The displayed value
should be 1000 g. The tolerance range is ±20 g.
12. If the displayed value is outside the tolerance range, the scale must be calib-
rated by a service technician.
13. Repeat the steps 10. to 12. with using the left bag hook of the bag scale.
14. Remove weight from bag scale.
