In minimally invasive surgery, a clear operative field and stable pneumoperitoneum pressure are central to both safety and procedural efficiency. The Olympus UHI-3 high-flow insufflator pairs high-flow gas delivery with integrated smoke evacuation, offering surgical teams a consolidated approach to insufflation management built around precise pressure regulation and simplified controls.
The UHI-3 functions as more than a gas supply unit; it is designed as a workflow component within the operating room. Its principal strengths lie in the combination of high-flow delivery and continuous pressure monitoring, allowing the system to respond rapidly to gas loss caused by instrument movement and to hold intra-abdominal pressure at the level selected by the surgical team.
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Maximum flow rate | 35 L/min high-flow gas delivery |
| Flow modes | Three adjustable settings: low, medium and high |
| Smoke evacuation | Integrated smoke and mist evacuation |
| Gas connection | Compatible with hospital central gas supply or gas cylinders |
| Safety mechanisms | Automatic pressure relief valve with audible and visual alarms |
Three selectable flow settings give the surgical team latitude to match delivery to the stage of the procedure, while the unit can draw on either a hospital central gas pipeline or conventional cylinders depending on room configuration.
With integrated smoke evacuation, the UHI-3 can clear surgical smoke and mist during a procedure when the optional footswitch is used. The arrangement is intended to keep the operative field consistently visible and to reduce the distraction that follows when visibility is obscured.
Connection to a hospital central gas supply also removes the routine burden of exchanging heavy cylinders during cases, allowing staff to concentrate on the procedure rather than on gas logistics.
Safety considerations are embedded in the unit's control interface. A front-panel display presents both the current pressure and the preset target simultaneously, so that critical readings remain visible at a glance.
If intra-abdominal pressure moves beyond the configured safety range, the system triggers audible and visual alarms and releases excess pressure through an automatic relief valve on the suction line, a design intended to limit risk during the case.
