Smart Design
No need for cumbersome attachments.
Attractive, compact design can easily be added to your
existing endoscopy cart.
Proprietary "intelligent" software
senses when CO2 is not required
by the clinician and reduces the flow. Allows a facility
to use their standard Air/Water valves eliminating the use
of costly and nonautoclavable, specialized CO2 valves.
Comfort and
Safety
CO2 is absorbed 150 times
faster than the nitrogen in air, and promptly eliminated
via the lungs.1
Patients are
not subjected to extended discomfort from bloating, cramping
and the embarrassment associated with eliminating room air.
Helps ensure patient safety
through redundant pressure relief valves and automatic flow-stop
features which protect against over-insufflation.
A recent study on minimizing post-colonoscopy
abdominal pain showed that 1 hour after colonoscopy, a majority
of patients insufflated with room air had significant residual
gas. The study showed that 94% of patients insufflated with carbon
dioxide had only trace to minimal residual gas.2
Consistency
Volume display allows monitoring
and recording of the volume of CO2 used,
unlike room air insufflation where it is impossible to judge the
amount of air introduced.
Productivity
Quick and easy to
set up and use.
CO2 insufflation
may decrease demands on staff time and help shorten patient recovery
time.
