WORKFLOW
ATTENTION: Equipment can potentially be damaged during transportation or
storage. It is therefore important to verify correct operation of the unit before
undertaking a procedure.
1. Turn on the power switch on the rear panel.
2. The MEDICSIGHT MEDICCO
2
LON logo will appear on the screen, the main screen
will automatically appear after 5 seconds.
3. Press ‘set’ to select a pre-set target pressure or adjust with the increment /
decrement icons.
4. Press ‘SET’ to select a pre-set target flowrate.
5. Connect the filter side end of the administration set to the connector provided
on the front panel.
6. Once the patient is fully prepared and placed in a lateral decubitus position,
carefully insert the other end with a lubricated rectal catheter into the rectum
until the proximal end (base) of the retention balloon is just beyond the
anorectal junction.
7. Inflate the catheter balloon if determined necessary.
N.B - After insertion of the catheter, a discharge of fluid from the colon may be
noticed. Assure that the effluent is completely drained, and captured in the
effluent trap, before proceeding.
8. Start the process of gas insufflation by pressing ‘START’
9. During insufflation the start icon will change to a red stop icon. A green cell
will appear within the flowrate display to confirm that positive flow is running
through the unit. (see section 5.2.1)
N.B. – To pause insufflation at any point press ‘STOP’ , to restart press ‘RESUME’.
10. The initial flow rate of CO
2
is 0 LPM; this will rise gradually at a rate of 0.5 LPM per
0.5 litres of gas volume insufflated until the defined flowrate target is met. The
unit will automatically control the colonic pressure during insufflation.
11. Insufflation at the defined flow rate target continues until the total CO
2
insufflated volume is 4.0 litres. The insufflation ceases at 4.0L, a buzzer is sounded
