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
specialized CO2 valves.
*Patent
Pending
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 and staff exposure.

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.
Efficiency
- May quicken
patient recovery times. 3
- Flow mode
switch automatically allows optimal flow rate.
- Conserves gas
by using Managed Flow Mode.
- Less time
spent suctioning room air.
- Eliminates
the need for specialized CO2 valves.
