Abstract
A method for anal or stomal irrigation includes providing an irrigation system to a user and instructing the user to operate the system to expel the irrigating liquid from a catheter tip. The irrigation pressure is controlled with the control system in response to input from a sensor such that a pressure at the catheter tip approaches a predetermined threshold pressure value without exceeding the predetermined pressure value.
Claims21
A method for anal or stomal irrigation, the method comprising:
- providing an irrigation system to a user with the system comprising a reservoir adapted to contain an irrigating liquid, a catheter comprising a catheter tip sized for insertion into one of a rectum and a stoma of the user, a tubing system providing a conduit for the irrigating liquid between the reservoir and the catheter tip, a pump operable to pump the irrigating liquid from the reservoir to the catheter tip, a control system, and a sensor located in the tubing system;
- instructing the user to operate the system to expel the irrigating liquid from the catheter tip;
- and
- controlling an irrigation pressure with the control system in response to input from the sensor such that a pressure at the catheter tip approaches a predetermined threshold pressure value without exceeding the predetermined pressure value.
