  • Patent number: 8753307
    Abstract: A cassette insertable into an irrigation or aspiration machine for endoscopy includes an irrigation or an aspiration tube and a support provided with one or two inlet plugs and one or two outlet plugs where two tubes form an elbow to be connectable to the inlet or outlet plugs in an input and output direction of motion, respectively and to form an irrigation or aspiration pumping area in the input and output direction of motion. The support includes a T-shaped guide according to the head of the T for protecting the elbow of each tube and according to the length of the T body in a slot guiding the tube in the output direction. The T-shaped guide extends between one or two inlet plugs to form the irrigation or aspiration pumping area on both sides of the slot between each inlet plug and the head of the T.

  • Patent number: 7526960
    Abstract: The inventive pressure transmitting connector, in particular for an endoscopy system includes a fluid transporting channel, a blind compartment which opens towards the transport channels by a pipe and closed by a membrane which is deformable according to a pressure in the transport channels and a device for transmitting a representative quantity of the pressure in the transport channel according to the membrane deformation. The transport channel, the pipe and the blind compartment are embodied in the same rigid part to which the membrane is attached. In a preferred embodiment, the membrane simultaneously closes the blind compartment and a pressure transmitting chamber attached to the rigid part.
