Abstract:

In preparation for a medical procedure utilizing a medical instrument such as a high intensity focused ultrasound probe sterile water is gravity fed to a reservoir container through a hydrophobic hollow fiber or membrane filter connected to a vacuum pump, whereby the reservoir container is filled with degassed sterile water. The reservoir is operatively connected to the medical instrument in a hydraulic circuit through which the degassed sterile water is pumped from the reservoir container. The circuit is purged of air and then closed to render the medical instrument in condition for a medical procedure.
