Patent ID: 8366654

Claim:
An insufflation device comprising: an insufflation device housing; an input pipe having a first end for receiving gas from a gas supply; a pressure regulator disposed within the housing and having a fluid input that is in fluid communication with a second end of the input pipe for receiving gas from the gas supply, said pressure regulator for regulating pressure of a gas received by the input pipe; a flow control valve system including valving disposed within the housing having a first input end in fluid communication with a gas output of the pressure regulator, said flow control valve system at a second output end including output piping for providing gas to a tube set; an input device for obtaining inputs from a user and generating input signals to operate the insufflation device; at least one ultraviolet light source disposed in the housing for applying ultraviolet light to at least a portion of the flow control valve system for sterilizing at least an inner wall of at least a portion of the output piping; and a controller disposed in the housing capable of receiving input signals from the input device relative to the pressure of the gas and relative to the ultraviolet light source, and capable of controlling the flow control valve system to provide a selected pressure of gas exiting the insufflation device and capable of operating the at least one ultraviolet light source.
