From staff: surgeon was using myosure device with fluent fluid management system.Machine was loud, and sounded as though it was working harder than normal.Deficit jumped to 500ml soon after surgeon started to use it.Staff looked for leak at perineal site but was unable to find one.Surgeon was going to stop procedure due to possible perforation of uterus.Leak was discovered at the site of the cartridge placed on machine.It was then determined that the fluent device was faulty, we changed to a new system and deficit was at 20 once scope was reintroduced.Surgeon was able to use myosure device and remove the fibroid.From operative report: the first myosure cassette did not function, and so this was exchanged for a new cassette.
