inTRODUCTiOn TO The APPARATUs

This apparatus is an insufflator for performing surgical or diagnostic endoscopic procedures. It
was designed for the purpose of creating the pneumoperitoneum (distension of the abdominal
cavity with CO2) as part of these procedures. The insufflator sends medical CO2 through a
tubing hose, into the pneumoperitoneum, so as to put it under a defined pressure.
It is equipped with a gas outlet and an external desufflation valve for protecting the internal
circuits.
Its ease of use, capacity for high flow rates and automatic flow rate regulation based on a pres-
sure setpoint makes it the ideal medical tool for multidisciplinary use.
This apparatus includes:
• A power cord;
• A user manual;
• A Quickstart guide;
• An external filter;
• An open-end spanner for the high-pressure tubing hose connector, and for connecting/dis-
connecting the external filter.
Optional accessories:
• Sterile single-use, or reusable, Y-tubing;
• Bacterial filters;
• External filter;
• High-pressure and low-pressure tubing hoses for connection to CO2 cylinders and CO2 wall
points
We recommend checking the condition of the external filter and replacing it every 6 months if
necessary.
