one who is working with the equipment.
Structure of safety instructions

The safety instructions are structured according to the following risks:
• Operating errors and incorrect installation by unsuitable persons without training
• Risks due to the environment
• Malfunctions to other equipment caused by the unit, malfunctions to the unit
caused by other equipment

Notes
Access to the power cord Note: Install the device such that the power cord could be easily disconnected from
the power source.
Grounding Note: If necessary, the equipment can be connected to the external grounding system
of the room with the grounding pin on the back of the unit and/or Cart using a con-
necting cable designed for this purpose. Affects of low frequency leakage currents due
to a defective grounding system within the room may be eliminated through external
grounding.
Use of a defibrillator Note: The device and the inlet of the main filter cartridge (application part) conform to
the requirements of Type CF (Cardiac Float) and are protected against the effects of a
defibrillator discharge.
Measures against smoke during Note: Erbe recommends using a smoke extraction system, protective goggles, and a
electrosurgical procedures respirator.
Suction power with increasing Note: The suction power of the device decreases with increasing operating altitude. A
operating altitude sufficient suction effect is always obtained.
Main filter cartridge blocked or Note: The suction capacity is insufficient. Change the main filter cartridge.
worn
Use of a prefilter Note: Always use a prefilter. The prefilter protects the main filter cartridge from con-
tamination with coarse particles. As such, it prevents functional impairment. Change
the prefilter after each use.
19 / 78
Use of a water trap Note: The IES 3 is not intended for suctioning secretions. You must not suction any
secretions, even if you connect a water trap. The water trap should exclusively prevent
liquid that has unintentionally been suctioned ending up into the main filter cartridge
and/or the device. Change the water trap after each use.
Use of a T-piece Note: When using a T-piece, you can use two handles at the same time. However, the
suction power halves as a result of this. Change the T-piece after each use.

 Use products that are not flammable.
If the use of flammable products is unavoidable, proceed as fol-
lows:
 Allow the products to evaporate completely before switching on
the device.
WARNING
Penetration of fluid into the device during operation or when
cleaning the device
Risk of electric shock to the medical personnel.
 Make sure no liquid can penetrate the device.
 Do not place vessels containing liquids on top of the device.
 If fluid has penetrated into the device, take the device out of op-
eration immediately. You can only start using the device again
once it has been checked by a service technician.

WARNING
Alternate use of disinfectant solutions based on different active
ingredients
The agents may affect one another. The disinfection effect of the dis-
infectant solution may be weakened. Danger of infection to the pa-
tient and medical personnel.
The housing plastic may become brittle and break. A color reaction
may occur with plastics.
 Do not use these substances alternately.
Wipe disinfection
For cleaning and disinfecting the surfaces of the unit or of the equipment cart, Erbe
recommends a wipe disinfection. Use only disinfectant which complies with the rele-
vant national standards.
Observe the cleaning agent and disinfectant manufacturer’s instructions for use re-
garding material compatibility.
Selecting a suitable cleaning and disinfection agent

The following categories of cleaning agents and disinfectants should not cause any
damage to the surfaces of units/carts when used properly:
• Agents based on formaldehyde/glutaraldehyde compounds
80114-801_V23254 
• Alcohol-based agents
• Agents based on guanidine
2020-08
• Agents based on active oxygen-based per compounds
• Agents based on peracetic acid
• Chlorine-based agents
Frequent use of the abovementioned agents may cause harmless discoloration to sur-
faces.
Do not use a cleaning and disinfection agent containing the following substances:
• Sodium hydroxide, strong organic acids, strong oxidizing agents, and agents with
a high chlorine content
These substances may attack metal parts due to their corrosive effect.
• Quaternary ammonium cations, phenolic compounds (e.g., phenoxyethanol)
• Solvents and benzine
These substances cause damage to plastics.
Instructions for cleaning and disinfection

1. Mix the disinfectant in the concentration specified by the manufacturer.
2. Clean any visible contamination before disinfecting (e.g. blood) from the surfaces
using the disinfectant. Otherwise the efficacy of the subsequent disinfection may
be impaired.
54 / 78
3. Carry out a visual inspection after cleaning. If you find any residual contamination,
repeat cleaning until all contamination has been removed.
4. Carry out wipe disinfection. Make sure the surfaces are treated uniformly. Observe
the information provided by the manufacturer regarding the prescribed reaction
time.
What should you do if it is not Note: If it is not possible to carry out a full clean, do not carry out a wipe disinfection.

This can result in the increased emission of electromagnetic interfer-
ence or reduce the electromagnetic immunity of the device.
 Only use cable that is specified in the table “EMC-relevant acces-
sories“, see chapter “Information on electromagnetic compatibil-
ity (EMC)“.
 If you are using accessories from other manufacturers, check
whether the Erbe device is interfering with other devices or being
80114-801_V23254 

16 • Use of the LAP hose set
Chapter 16
Use of the LAP hose set
For use of the LAP hose set, sterile and non-sterile assistance is necessary.
Non-sterile assistance:
1. Select the LAP mode on the touchscreen of the IES 3: Touch the LAP button.
2. Check the LAP settings: Touch the selection button or the display.

3. Get the LAP hose set handed to you from the sterile area and connect it to the
IES 3.
Sterile assistance:
1. Connect the LAP hose set to the trocar. If you are using a trocar with a vent valve,
open the vent valve.
2. If you have configured the IES 3 as descried in chapters 5 - 8, the IES 3 starts
automatically when the laparoscopic instrument is activated. No smoke is
extracted, because the trumpet valve of the LAP hose set is closed.
If vision is impaired as a result of smoke: hold down the trumpet valve until vision
improves.
