7.1 COnTROls FROM The ViDeO CAMeRA heAD
(sOPRO CAMeRA OnlY)
The following insufflator functions can be controlled using one of the three programmable but-
tons located on the camera head: RUN (in low flow mode), HIGH FLOW RATE, STOP. A special
communication cable must connect the Sopro camera to this insufflator at the dedicated socket
[C5] (see Sopro camera user manual for further information on configuring this switch).
In addition, this communication cable is for receiving feedback information (instantaneous pres-
sure in the cavity, warning messages) on the surgical monitor.
7.2 AUTOnOMOUs OPeRATiOn WiTh The CO2 CYlinDeR
This patented function indicates the insufflation time remaining based on the remaining CO2
capacity in the cylinder. It helps the surgical team to better manage:
- surgical operation time,
- cylinder changes.
The autonomous function is triggered when the pressure of the CO2 cylinder is below 33 bars
and when autonomy is equal to or less than 99 minutes.
7.3 sAFeTY
• Preheating system
This warms the gas in the device.
• Automatic test
Automatic calibration of the device and testing of the basic components on each start-up, in less
than one second.
• Detection of tubing hoses
The device will only start if a tubing hose is connected both to the CO2 outlet and the external
desufflation valve (for safety reasons, it is impossible to connect only one of these elements).
• Automatic flow rate adjustment
This insufflator automatically regulates the flow rate based on the operating conditions in order
to maintain an abdominal pressure equal to the determined pressure.
• An additional pressure sensor
If the measurement circuit is not functioning properly, the consistency of the measurements is
constantly monitored; this means that the insufflation cycles can be interrupted if there is the
slightest doubt.
