3. INTRODUCTION This user manual provides instructions for the operation of the MedicCO LON, CT Colonography CO colonic insufflator, hereafter referred to as MedicCO LON. It is recommended that personnel study this manual before attempting to operate the MedicCO LON device. The safe and effective use of this equipment requires understanding of and compliance with all warnings, cautionary notices, and instructions marked on the product, and included in this manual.
3. INTRODUCTION Recent acute diverticulitis. • Symptomatic colon-containing abdominal wall hernia. • Symptomatic or high-grade small bowel obstruction. • CT colonography, and therefore use of the MedicCO LON device, is not indicated for: • Routine follow-up of inflammatory bowel disease. •...
3. INTRODUCTION Operating Practice The MedicCO LON device administers CO with an initial flow rate of 0.5 litre per minute (LPM) and the flow rate increases to a pre-set maximum of 3 - 4LPM. Colonic pressure gradually increases as CO is administered to the patient to reach the target colonic pressure pre-set by the user.

3. INTRODUCTION complies with IEC60601-1-2:2015, however: o Electronic equipment in the vicinity of the MedicCO LON device may affect its operation and potentially cause unpredictable operation of the device. o Wherever possible the MedicCO LON device should be distanced from surrounding electromagnetic equipment and cables to this equipment in order to reduce possible electromagnetic interference.
Page 10
3. INTRODUCTION General Warnings and Cautions - Use of CO • The provision of CO for use with the MedicCO LON device should only be from a Medical Grade CO cylinder. Use only “Medical Grade” CO available in C or D supply cylinders. All instructions provided with the gas supply should be carefully understood and followed as failure to do so may result in serious injury to users or patients.
Page 11
3. INTRODUCTION General Warnings and Cautions - Introduction of CO • Air Embolism Hazard: air should be purged from the administration set tubing and instruments with 0.2 litres of CO prior to introduction of the catheter and gas to the patient. • Irritation Hazard: infusion of CO can result in carbonic acid irritation to tissues that come into direct contact with the CO • System operators should always instruct the patient to notify them should they feel any pain during the procedure.
