Product Classification Syringe, balloon inflation - Product Code MAV
Product Dolphin Inflation Device, REF 0185NA. Rx only, Sterilized using Ethylene Oxide.

DOLPHIN is a single-use, sterile inflation device used in cardiovascular procedures to pressurize (inflate) and depressurize (deflate) balloon catheters. The device itself consists of two components - the inflation device and large volume syringe (30 cc).
The manually operation of the DOLPHIN is achieved by the manipulation of a large handle to drive a piston housed within the body of the device. Careful and controlled inflation is achieved by rotating the handle clockwise. During inflation a unique cam locking mechanism maintains pressure even if the user lets go of the device.
Instantaneous deflation, regardless of balloon size, is made possible by the release of the dual locks located on device as well as a large, 30 cc syringe that is sold with each Dolphin Inflation Device.
All the while during inflation or deflation pressure is displayed and can be monitored on a large analog gauge mounted on top of the device.
