SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Read this manual carefully before using the device, especially the sections dealing with safety conditions and environmental requirements for the equipment.

A INTENDED USE This machine is designed to be used exclusively for virtual colonoscopy, which is a non-invasive radiological examination procedure using an X-ray or CT scanner during which carbon dioxide gas (CO2) is introduced into the colon for diagnostic purposes. It provides a completely safe means of performing colonic distension. The purpose of this User Guide is not to instruct the user in how to carry out a virtual colonoscopy, but to explain in simple terms how the apparatus is used.

B CONTRA-INDICATION The use of this device is contra-indicated whenever virtual or conventional colonoscopy is contra-indicated. This device is contra-indicated for hysteroscopic insufflation; it must not under any circumstances be used for intra-uterine distension.

C WARNINGS This apparatus should be used exclusively by a radiology physician with experience in this technique. In case of an emergency requiring insufflation to be suspended, the technician must shut off the CO2 supply by quickly disconnecting the administration tube from the exit port of the machine. > Always ask the patient to tell the technician if the examination becomes painful. > The machine may release CO2 into the ambient atmosphere if used incorrectly or in case of a malfunction. Use and store the machine in a well ventilated place. Also make sure that all connections to the CO2 bottle are properly made and the fittings have no visible damage. In the event of an unexpected rapid release of CO2, evacuate the premises until properly ventilated. > Excessive absorption of CO2 results from excessive flow or excessive pressure, or both. Adequate respiration will help prevent problems related to CO2.

> The colon can be adequately distended by pressure in the range 15 to 25 mmHg. The selection of a pressure setpoint or of a flow setpoint superior to 3L/min is only justified for obese patients. > Compatibility between this device and MRI scanners has not been verified; it must therefore not be placed in an MRI examination room. > Metabolic acidosis and resultant cardiac irregularity Prolonged intra-colonic pressures greater than 20 mm Hg should be avoided; this will increase the amount and rapidity of intra-vasation. This can cause any of the following: - Decreased respiration with compromised diaphragmatic excursion - Decreased venous return - Decreased cardiac output - Acidosis > Idiosyncratic reactions In patients with microdrepanocytic disease, sickle cell disease or pulmonary insufficiency, use of these devices may pose increased risks of metabolic imbalance related to excessive CO2 absorption. > In certain rare cases, accidental intravasation of CO2 may present a risk of embolism. > The absorption of CO2 can cause irritation of tissues coming into direct contact with carbonic acid. > Tubing and Filter The use of a 0.027 micron hydrophobic bacterial and viral filter is essential to prevent patient crosscontamination. To ensure patient safety, it is essential to use vIMAP single-use tubing fitted with a viral hydrophobic filter and to replace the tube set for each patient. The use of any other tubing is prohibited.

SPECIAL FEATURES A ENHANCED SAFETY > Self-test Auto-calibration of the device and testing of its vital functions takes just a few seconds at the starting of the device. > Tube detection The device will not start without an external desufflation tube being connected (impossible to connect a single tube for safety reasons). > Automatic control of insufflation flow This device automatically controls the insufflation flow to maintain a colonic distension pressure equal to the pressure setpoint. The selected flow is a maximum flow which will not necessarily be reached. > Additional pressure sensor The coherence of the measurements is monitored continuously so that, in case of a fault in the measuring circuit, the insufflation cycles can be stopped if the slightest doubt arises. > Safety valves In case of failure at the pressure reducer, a first safety valve limits the pressure to 0.8 bars +/-0.1 bars. A second valve limits the insufflation pressure to 65 mmHg maximum.(+/- 5mmHg). > Message display "Colon insufflated" When the volume of CO2 insufflated is greater than 1,1l and according to the flow and pressure variations.

B NORMAL MODE In this mode, the pressure setting can be adjusted to between 5 and 25 mmHg and the insufflation flow between 1 and 3 litres/minute. The device starts in this mode by default.

E N G L I S H 5

C RADIOLOGIST MODE This mode should be used for more complicated cases such as obese patients. In this mode the pressure setting can be adjusted to between 12 and 35 mmHg and the insufflation flow between 1 and 4 litres/minute. To activate this mode it is necessary to increase the pressure setting and accept a confirmation message. This mode must be activated exclusively by a radiology physician with experience in this technique.

D EXTERNAL DESUFFLATION The device has a system to allow the desufflation of CO2 to the outside of the device to avoid: > overpressure in the colon, > backflow of fluid into the device, thus avoiding any risk of damage or contamination.

E MONITORING OF BOTTLE PRESSURE When the bottle pressure reaches the 20 bars threshold, the device communicates to the user via: > Display of bottle pressure in the alarm messages field > A red LED illuminated continuously When the bottle pressure reaches the 10 bars threshold the device is prevented from starting.

F LCD DISPLAY For enhanced communication with the user and to improve usability, we have equipped our latest range of insufflators with a 5”7 LCD display. It provides a clear display of the following in 5 different languages: > Alarms and error messages in text format > Number of exams performed(in the Menu) > Duration of examinations, > Indication of pressure setpoint and actual pressure in mmHg > Indication of flow setpoint and actual flow in litres/minute > Indication of CO2 volume consumed in litres > Indication of machine status: RUN /PAUSE /STOP > Choice of 5 languages > At the starting : Number of exams performed before Service

E SELECTING THE FLOW SETPOINT This operation must always be performed by or under the supervision of a radiology physician. By default the insufflator starts with a flow setpoint of 3 litres; this value can be modified between 1 and 4 litres and saved via the main display (saving limited to 3 litres). Select the flow setpoint (maximum flow) from 1, 2, 3 and 4 litres/minute using the selector knob [G]. As a safety precaution, you will be asked to confirm the change from 3 to 4 litres/minute.

F STARTING THE INSUFFLATION Insufflation will start when the RUN button [F] located on the front panel is pressed. A screen icon indicates the activation of RUN mode. The MENU is not accessible while the machine is running. To access the menu insufflation must be stopped by pressing button [F]. Insufflation starts by increasing the flow without exceeding the selected maximum flow. Once the pressure setpoint is reached, insufflation stops. Insufflation restarts when the intracavity pressure falls below the pressure setpoint. The pressure and flow setpoints can be modified at any time.

G SLIGHT OvERPRESSURE - DESUFFLATION When the intra-colon pressure exceeds the pressure setpoint by 2 mmHg for a duration of 1,5 seconds the message "OVERPRESSURE" is displayed and a desufflation is initiated to keep the colon inflated while eliminating the overpressure. A visual alarm indicator [B] is activated during the overpressure.

H LARGE OvERPRESSURE - PROGRESSIvE DESUFFLATION When the intra-colon pressure exceeds the pressure setpoint by 10 mmHg the message "OVERPRESSURE" is displayed and a progressive desufflation is initiated to reduce the overpressure. A visual alarm indicator [B] and an audible alarm (beep) are also activated.

I MONITORING THE FLOW The instantaneous flowrate is indicated in litres/minute on the LCD screen. It will not exceed the maximum flow setpoint.

J MONITORING THE vOLUME OF GAS CONSUMED The volume of gas consumed is indicated on the LCD display in litres to within a decilitre. This counter is activated when the RUN button [F] is pressed and is reset to zero when the machine is switched off or when the RESET button [E] is pressed.

K AUTOMATIC PAUSING OF INSUFFLATION After 5 litres of CO2 have been insufflated the device displays PAUSE in the alarm field and stops the insufflation of gas (flow 0 litres/minute). Desufflation is not activated, making it possible to keep the colon distended if there are no leaks. A single press of the RUN button will restart the insufflation. Beyond 5 litres, the device will pause at 2.5 litre intervals up to 12.5 litres. At 12.5 litres, the examination is stopped, the machine stops completely and rapid desufflation is initiated.
