Reason

Under certain circumstances the PneumoClear CO2 conditioning insufflator will not detect automatically when the fluid used to humidify the insufflation gas is completely used. As a result the displayed humidification status will be incorrect. This can occur with the heated humidified tube set and the heated humidified smoke evacuation tube set.
