Estimating the term…
The present invention is directed to a system, method, and computer program product for controlling the supply of a distending media (such as an insufflating gas) from a distending media source to an endoscopic device so as to prevent the excess venting and/or waste of distending media. More specifically, the present invention provides for the detection of a pressure level within a lumen of an endoscopic device and adjusts a supply parameter of the distending media based at least in part on the detected pressure level, and in some cases, on the relationship between the detected pressure level and a user-defined threshold.
An insufflating system adapted to be in fluid communication with a source of a distending media and an endoscopic device so as to deliver the distending media to the endoscopic device, the insufflating system comprising:
A method for delivering distending media to an endoscopic device in fluid communication with a source of a distending media, the method comprising:
A computer program product capable of controlling an insufflating device in fluid communication between a source of a distending media and an endoscopic device so as to be capable of delivering the distending media to the endoscopic device, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising instructions for performing the following steps:
