The foot pedal is connected to a suction source with vacuum regulator that provides a range between 200 to 375 mmHg (26.7 to 50.0 kPa). It is for use only by medically licensed and trained gastroenterologists located in hospitals, clinics, and doctor offices.
A device intended to be fitted to an endoscope suction channel to enable the operator to control suction whist preventing inflow of air. It is in the form of an attachable valve that controls (opens/closes) the suction channel. This is a single-use device.
