7.5 High flow rate
When the pneumoperitoneum is created, activating this mode enables a maximum flow rate
of up to 45 L/min to be reached. This capacity is then used to compensate for all types of
leakage. It is advisable not to use verres needles in this mode.
7.6 Automatic High/Low flow rate
If the automatic change-
over switch is set to “ON” in the settings, the device begins to insufflate
in low-flow mode, and then changes to high-flow mode once the pressure setpoint has been
established in the cavity.
7.7 External desufflation valve [C1]
Our insufflators are equipped with a valve for releasing excess CO2 pressure from the device
so as to avoid:
•
Excessive pressure in the pneumoperitoneum
•
Any backflow of fluid inside the device, and in this way avoid any risk of deterioration or
contamination.
7.8 Testing of medical CO² cylinder pressure
This latest generation of insufflators is equipped with a pressure measurement system in the
cylinder with continuous visibility.
When the pressure in the CO2 cylinder reaches 40 bars, the corresponding logo is displayed
in orange. When the pressure in the CO2 cylinder reaches 20 bars, the corresponding value
is displayed in orange.
Below a pressure of 10 bars, the insufflator cannot start. The display of the input pressure
value changes to orange.
7.9 Testing of medical CO² central wall point
This latest generation of insufflators is equipped with a CO2 gas central wall point pressure
measurement system with continuous visibility. Below a pressure of 2.8 bars, the insufflator
cannot start. The display of the flow rate input value changes to orange.
From 10 bars, the insufflators will change automatically to “cylinder” mode. Only to be used
with a medical CO2 gas central wall point, in compliance with European standards.
