INSUFFLATOR THEORY OF OPERATION
The PROTOCO
2
L Colon Insufflator operates by
administering CO
2
at a maximum
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
2
will gradually
decrease when the current pressure approaches the user determined value (on the
Pressure Adjust Dial). The colonic pressure has stabilized when
the pressure shown
on the Pressure Display equals the pressure set on the Pressure Adjust Dial and the
flow of CO
2
will stop. While in the RUN mode, the PROTOCO
2
L Colon
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
allowing additional CO
2
to flow until the current pressure is equal again to
the user
determined colonic pressure setting.
The PROTOCO
2
L Colon Insufflator has an electronically controlled Pressure
Relief Valve at 50 mm Hg and an independent redundant mechanical Pressure Relief
Valve pre
-
set to 75 mm Hg. Both pressure relief safet
y devices are active whether
the Gas Flow is on or off.
