Protego Air Water Connector is a single-use component in the gas and water supply path for gastrointestinal endoscopy. It connects to the endoscope air/water port and links the endoscope with compatible tubing supplying air or carbon dioxide and sterile water.
The connector works with Protego Air Water Bottle Tubing or Protego Hybrid Tubing. It forms the connection at the endoscope, while the tubing links the system to its gas and water sources.
Connector and Tubing Roles
The connector is supplied sterile and discarded after one use. The associated bottle and hybrid tubing have a separate 24-hour multi-patient use period. Hybrid tubing additionally incorporates an irrigation line for use with an irrigation pump. That tubing use period does not make the connector reusable.
