CO2EFFICIENTSmart 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.

 

post-colonoscopy abdominal pain
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.
