Remote control apparatus for making radiological examinations of the small intestine by the double contrast method

摘要

Remote control apparatus for making radiological examinations of the small intestine with double contrast (barium and methyl cellulose), comprising a boxlike support body supporting two separate vessels for the contrast components, each of which is hydraulically connected to a collet type electric valve; the outlets of the latter are then connected to the customary cannula for connection to the patient. Said vessels are then subjected to pressurised air, supplied by an electric pump via overflow or drain electric valves calibrated to allow the selection of different operating pressures, said electric valves, said electric pump, and the choice of the pressure values being manually operated to set up the apparatus prior to the examination and also remotely via a radio frequency or similar remote command to enable a remote examination under conditions of safety for the technician.
