Intended Use

The Laparo CO2-Pneu automatic insufflator generates and maintains pneumoperitoneum under CO2 gas and can be used in diagnostic and operative laparoscopy.

Device Story

The Laparo CO2-Pneu is an automated insufflator used in diagnostic and operative laparoscopy to create and maintain pneumoperitoneum. It connects to CO2 gas sources (cylinders or central supply) and delivers gas to the patient's abdomen. The device features microprocessor-controlled pressure and flow regulation, allowing users to preselect intra-abdominal pressure (5-25 mmHg) and flow rates (1-30 L/min). An integrated electronic circuit in the insufflation tube warms the gas to body temperature. The device displays real-time pressure, flow, and gas consumption data on video equipment for clinician monitoring. It is intended for use by physicians in clinical settings. The device includes safety mechanisms to manage pressure and prevent over-inflation. It is designed to be used in conjunction with other surgical equipment, requiring careful monitoring when used with argon plasma coagulators to avoid pressure-related risks.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical tests performed. Bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Microprocessor-controlled CO2 insufflator. Preselectable pressure (5-25 mmHg) and flow (1-30 L/min). Integrated electronic gas warming circuit. Video output for data display. Standalone unit.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing diagnostic or operative laparoscopy requiring pneumoperitoneum. Contraindicated if laparoscopy is contraindicated. Not suitable for hysteroscopy or inflation of the cavum uteri.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A laparoscopic insufflator is a device used to facilitate the use of the laparoscope by filling the peritoneal cavity with gas to distend it.

The gas pressure and the flow rate are adjusted by the user and electronically controlled. {1}------------------------------------------------ #### 2.0 Intended Use The Laparo CO2-Pneu automatic insufflator generates and maintains pneumoperitoneum under CO2 gas and can be used in diagnostic and operative laparoscopy. ### 3.0 Technological Characteristics The pressure and flow values are checked by microprocessor control. A number of independent safety devices provide safe and problem-free insufflation. The intra-abdominal pressure between 5 mmHg and 25 mmHg can be preselected. The pressure is reduced if the intra-abdominal pressure is higher than the preselected. THC The flow rate can be preselected between 1 L/minute and 30 L/minute at a pace of 1 V/min. The measured values can be displayed on-screen in order to document the pressure, flow, and gas consumption values during intervention via video equipment. An electronic circuit, integrated into the insufflation tube, warms the gas to body temperature. ### 4.0 Substantial Equivalence The Laparo CO2-Pneu is substantially equivalent to existing 510(k) devices sold by Richard Wolf and Karl Storz. - 5.0 Performance Data No performance data generated. - 6.0 Clinical Tests No clinical tests performed. #### 7.0 Conclusions Drawn Laparo CO2-Pneu 2232 was designed and tested to guarantee the safety and effectiveness during the expected life time of the device when used according to the instruction manual.

Warning: The device has a high flow rate. The device is not suitable for hysteroscopy. Do not use this device to inflate the cavum uteri. Contractindications for the patient resulting from the general findings, which are described in the relevant literature must be observed. ## Possible Combinations: Important! In addition to the product instruction manual, be sure to observe the instruction manuals of the products used in combination with this product. Electromagnetic interference or other influences which may occur between the product and other products may lead to defects or malfunctions. Warning! Danger of potentially fatal gas or air embolism. Purge the connection tubes thoroughly with CO, before every use. The use of devices using additional gaseous media in combination with the Laparo CO-Pncu automatic insufflator lies exclusively in the responsibility of the user.

There is danger of intra-abdominal pressure when a second gas source is used. When argon plasma coagulations are used, it is vital for the user to also have additional visual or manual pressure monitoring available, as there is a potential risk that the breasure monitoring or ventilation of the Laparo CO2-Pneu is deactivated, e.g. by a kinked insufflation tube or a closed instrument port (stopcock). The preselected gas flow rate of argon plasma coagulations should not excecd 2 Vmin. Activate the argon plasma coagulator only for shot periods of time.
