Colon Insufflator User Manual
INSUFFLATOR THEORY OF OPERATION
L™ Colon Insufflator operates by
flow rate of 3 LPM, and then monitoring the current colonic pressure. A value for
colonic pressure is selected by the operator, turning the Pressure Adjust Dial on the
front panel. Once started, the colonic pressure will grad
ually increase and will be
displayed on the Pressure Display on the front panel. The flow of CO
decrease when the current pressure approaches the user determined value (on the
Pressure Adjust Dial). The colonic pressure has stabilized when
on the Pressure Display equals the pressure set on the Pressure Adjust Dial and the
will stop. While in the RUN mode, the PROTOCO
Insufflator will maintain the selected colonic pressure by continuously monitoring
the current colonic pressure and will compensate for a loss in the colonic pressure by
to flow until the current pressure is equal again to
determined colonic pressure setting.
L™ Colon Insufflator has an electronically controlled Pressure
Relief Valve at 50 mm Hg and an independent redundant mechanical Pressure Relief
set to 75 mm Hg. Both pressure relief safet
y devices are active whether
the Gas Flow is on or off.
