CO2 insufflation during ERCP may "significantly reduce[]
postprocedural abdominal pain." 1
CO2 is absorbed 150 times faster than the nitrogen in air, and
is promptly eliminated via the lungs.2
CO2 insufflation "reduces pain and is safe to use in
colonoscopy in sedated patients." 3
Indications for Use: The CO2EFFICIENT Endoscopic Insufflator is
designed to use CO2 as a distention media in the gastrointestinal
tract when used in conjunction with a gastrointestinal endoscope.

Contraindications for Use: The CO2EFFICIENT ENDOSCOPIC
INSUFFLATOR™ should be used only for an endoscopic procedure
when insufflation of the gastrointestinal tract is necessary to support
navigation of the endoscope and perform any evaluation procedures
through the endoscope, and should therefore not be used for any other
treatments. It should only be used under the direct guidance of a
physician experienced in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy procedures. This
device is contraindicated for hysteroscopic or laparoscopic insufflation,
i.e., it must not be used for intrauterine distension. This device is
contraindicated for CT Colonography.
