Section 2 – Description
The Thermedx
®
FluidSmart
®
is intended for irrigation, distention, fluid warming, and fluid
volume/deficit measurements in endoscopic procedures within gynecology, urology, and
orthopedic disciplines. Fluids commonly used include 0.9% saline, lactated ringer’s solution, 5%
mannitol, 1.5% glycine, and sterile water.
The main unit is mounted on a rolling stand which houses the technology used to warm the fluids
and the peristaltic pump used to pressurize the fluids. A touch-screen operated processor
provides closed loop controls for fluid warming and pumping. The processor monitors temperature
and pressure sensors to adjust warming power and pump speed as required. Load cells attached
to the fluid bag hooks and suction canister ring allow the processor to monitor fluid levels pumped
to and suctioned from the surgical site.
Disposable Tubing Sets
Several versions of the disposable tubing sets are available. The LL0002 is an inflow tubing set
used for endoscopic procedures with maximum fluid pressures up to 150 mmHg. The LL0004 is
an inflow and outflow tubing set used for endoscopic procedures with maximum pressures up to
150 mmHg. The LL0006 is an inflow tubing set used for endoscopic procedures with maximum
fluid pressures up to 300 mmHg. The tubing sets terminate in a luer lock fitting for use with
existing hospital equipment, typically an endoscope. Each tubing set includes spikes for the fluid
bags, tubing clamps, a cartridge for fluid warming, and a luer lock for connection to the surgical
instrument or to a tube that connects to the surgical instrument. The luer lock features a pressure
relief valve operating in a range specific to that model of tubing set.
