The Gas Insufflator is designed to use carbon dioxide gas to insufflate the abdominal cavity, so as to generate and maintain pneumoperitoneum, expand the surgical field and keep sufficient space during diagnostic and therapeutic laparoscopic procedures.
Device Story
Gas Insufflator (Model GVS100) uses CO2 to create/maintain pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic surgery; system includes insufflator unit, high-pressure gas pipe, and sterile disposable tubing set. Device operates via solenoid valve to control gas pressure and flow rate; touchscreen interface displays real-time pressure and flow data. Adult mode supports up to 30 mmHg/40 LPM; Child mode supports up to 15 mmHg/15 LPM. Used in professional healthcare environments by clinicians. Safety features include overpressure protection (visual/audible alarms and pressure relief) and gas supply monitoring (informational signals and automatic deactivation at low pressure). Device provides stable surgical field access, benefiting patients by facilitating minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench performance testing, including electrical safety (IEC 60601-1, 60601-1-2, 60601-2-18, 60601-1-8), software validation, and sterility/aging testing. Bench testing verified pressure/flow accuracy under static and dynamic conditions (leaks up to 10 L/min continuous, 32 L/min transient), gas consumption display, and safety feature activation (overpressure and gas supply monitoring).
Technological Characteristics
AC-powered (100-240 VAC) insufflator unit with solenoid valve control. Sterile, EO-sterilized (ISO 11135:2014) disposable tubing set. Packaging validated per ASTM D4169-16, F1886/F1886M-16, F88/F88M-15, F1929-15, and F1980-16. Software classified as Major level of concern. No integrated gas heating.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult and pediatric patients undergoing diagnostic and therapeutic laparoscopic procedures requiring abdominal cavity insufflation with carbon dioxide to generate and maintain pneumoperitoneum.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A laparoscopic insufflator is a device used to facilitate the use of the laparoscope by filling the peritoneal cavity with gas to distend it.

In addition, testing to ASTM F1886/F1886M-16 (visual inspection), ASTM F88/F88M-15 (seal strength), ASTM F1929-15 (dye penetration) and ASTM F-1980-16 (aging) supported a shelf-life of 2 years.
#### Bench Performance testing
The Gas Insufflator was tested to demonstrate the performance including safety features. Tests were conducted in both Adult and Child modes. Full ranges of pressure and flow rates were tested:
- Static condition .
- . Accuracy of gas pressure in normal and insufficient air supply conditions
- Accuracy of flow rate in normal and insufficient air supply conditions .
- Dynamic condition
- Accuracy of gas pressure with continuous leak of 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 L/min .
- Accuracy of gas pressure with transient leak of 32 L/min .
- Gas consumption display
