The Ackermann Fusion insufflator is used for performing surgical or diagnostic endoscopic
procedures. It is designed for the purpose of creating and maintaining the pneumoperitoneum (distension of the abdominal cavity with CO2) as part of these
procedures. The insufflator transfers medical grade CO2 through a tubing hose, into the
abdominal cavity, so as to create and maintain a pneumoperitoneum it under a defined pressure.
It is equipped with a gas outlet and an external desufflation valve for protecting the internal
circuits.
Its ease of use, capacity for high flow rates and automatic flow rate regulation based on a pressure setpoint makes it the ideal medical tool for multidisciplinary use.
This insufflator includes:
• A power cord;
• A user manual;
• A Quickstart guide;
• An external filter;
• An open-end spanner for the high-pressure tubing hose connector, and for connecting / disconnecting the external filter.
