Blackstone Endoscopic Pump

Product Code: GE-ESE-3678

Laparoscopic Washing and Aspiration, With Irrigation Pressure of 10 to 50 kPa and a Matching Vacuum Range, Rated at 50 VA on a 100 to 240 V Mains Input

The Blackstone endoscopic pump is a suction irrigation pump for laparoscopic surgery, built to wash the abdominal cavity and draw off fluid and debris. Irrigation pressure spans 10 to 50 kPa, and the suction side works across the same span below atmospheric pressure. It draws 50 VA and runs on any mains supply from 100 to 240 V at 50 or 60 Hz. Available through Medigear.uk.

Blackstone's endoscopic pump does two jobs in laparoscopic surgery. It pushes irrigation fluid into the abdomen to wash the field, then draws that fluid back out with blood, clots, and debris. The sheet calls this washing and suction in enterocoelia surgery. Enterocoelia reads as a rendering of the abdominal cavity, and the last line confirms laparoscopy as the application. No photograph comes with the entry, so everything here rests on six lines of text.

Both pressures are given as ranges in kilopascals. Irrigation covers 10 to 50 kPa, roughly 75 to 375 mmHg. Suction spans the same figures below atmospheric pressure, so its strongest setting is a vacuum of about half an atmosphere. ISO 10079-1 treats a vacuum between 20 and 60 kPa as medium, which puts the top setting in that band, short of the 60 kPa where high vacuum begins. The two ranges mirror each other exactly, which may point to one pump serving both lines, though the sheet does not say so. The rated power is 50 VA, and the input accepts 100 to 240 V at either mains frequency.

What the sheet leaves out is flow. Pressure tells a buyer how hard the pump pushes or pulls, while flow tells them how fast a bleeding field will clear, and neither side has a flow figure.

There is no mention of a collection canister, overflow protection, or filter on the suction side, the parts that keep aspirated fluid out of the pump itself. Tubing, controls, alarms, weight, and size are missing too. Medigear.uk is taking each point to Blackstone before this suction irrigation pump is supplied.

Suction and irrigation sit behind much of routine laparoscopic surgery. In cholecystectomy, they clear bile and stones spilled from a torn gallbladder, and they keep the liver bed visible while bleeding is controlled. With a perforated appendix, pus is suctioned from the pelvis and flanks, often with a washout as well. In gynaecology, a ruptured ectopic pregnancy can leave a large haemoperitoneum that has to be emptied before the tube can be seen, and the spilled contents of a dermoid cyst are washed out to limit chemical peritonitis.

Technique shapes how the pump is used. Suction removes carbon dioxide along with fluid, so strong suction with the tip clear of the fluid can collapse the pneumoperitoneum and lose the view within moments. Surgeons therefore keep the tip submerged, work in short bursts,s and rely on the insufflator to keep pace. The adjustable range helps, because a lower setting leaves more gas behind. Clots and tissue fragments block narrow probes, so the bore of the tip matters as much as the vacuum. NICE also asks for all irrigation fluid used in surgery to be warmed in a thermostatically controlled cabinet to 38 to 40°C. The pump heats nothing itself, so a warming cabinet belongs in the plan.

Fluid accounting is the third practical point. Blood loss is estimated by subtracting the irrigation volume from the total reaching the suction canister, which needs a clearly graduated container, and none is described.

Medigear.uk has asked Blackstone for the flow rates, the tubing and canister arrangement,nt and any overflow protection, and it passes the answers to theatre teams and to the clinical engineers commissioning the unit.

Irrigation and Suction From One Unit

Washing and aspiration come from a single pump, so one device on the stack serves both lines to the probe.

A Wide Irrigation Range

Ten to 50 kPa runs from a gentle rinse to a firm jet, about 75 to 375 mmHg.

Suction That Can Be Turned Down

Settings as light as 10 kPa below atmospheric pressure let the team limit gas loss from the pneumoperitoneum.

Gentler Settings Near Delicate Tissue

Lower vacuum reduces the chance of drawing omentum or bowel wall into the tip and blocking it.

Built Around Laparoscopy

Blackstone names laparoscopic surgery as the application, and the pump is described as clearing fragments as well as fluid.

Standard Mains Anywhere

A 100 to 240 V input at 50 or 60 Hz means the unit needs no transformer in any market.

Modest Power Demand

A rating of 50 VA adds little to the electrical load of a laparoscopic stack.

Both Pressure Limits Published

Irrigation and suction ranges are each stated, so the settings a theatre uses can be checked against the pump's limits.

Irrigation Pressure

10 to 50 kPa.

Suction Range

Down to minus 50 kPa.

Rated Power

Mains Input

100 to 240 V, 50 or 60 Hz.

Stated Application

Laparoscopic surgery.

Stated Function

Washing and aspiration of effluent and fragments.

Vacuum Band

Medium under ISO 10079-1, at the strongest setting.

Flow Rates

Not yet published for either line.

Six lines from Blackstone describe a straightforward laparoscopic pump: irrigation up to 50 kPa, suction to 50 kPa below atmospheric, a 50 VA rating, and a universal mains input. Those figures suit the stated application. What they cannot show is performance, because pressure without flow says little about how quickly blood and clot will clear through a 5 mm or 10 mm probe. The suction side is also undescribed beyond its vacuum, with no canister, filter, or overflow protection mentioned, although each belongs in a safe suction circuit. Medigear.uk is pressing Blackstone for flow figures and the full fluid path, so theatre teams can weigh this suction irrigation pump on how it performs as well as on its pressures.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

It irrigates and aspirates during laparoscopic surgery, washing the operative field with fluid and then drawing that fluid back out along with blood, clots, and fragments. The phrase enterocoelia surgery on the sheet appears to translate to abdominal cavity surgery, and the stated application is laparoscopy. No photograph accompanies the entry, so the controls and connections of this suction irrigation pump cannot be seen.

Between 10 and 50 kPa, which is about 75 to 375 mmHg or 102 to 510 cmH2O. The lower end suits gentle rinsing, and the upper end gives a firmer jet for loosening clots. How the pressure is set and displayed is not described, nor is its accuracy. Pressure alone does not tell a team what flow a given probe will deliver, and that figure has been requested.

Up to 50 kPa below atmospheric, with a range reaching down to 10 kPa. Under ISO 10079-1, medium vacuum covers anything above 20 kPa and below 60 kPa, where the high band begins, so the strongest setting sits in the medium band. The standard also grades suction by free air flow, with high flow beginning at 20 L/min, but no suction flow figure is given for this pump.

It can. Suction draws out carbon dioxide as well as fluid, and at the stronger settings the abdomen can lose pressure fast enough to collapse the view. Keeping the tip below the fluid surface, using short bursts, and choosing the lowest effective setting all reduce gas loss. The insufflator then has to restore pressure, so its flow capacity matters alongside this pump's.

Nothing on the sheet suggests it does. NICE guidance on perioperative hypothermia says irrigation fluids should be brought to 38 to 40°C in a cabinet with thermostatic control, since cold fluid adds to the risk. Theatres using this suction irrigation pump should plan to feed it with bags warmed that way.

The sheet does not say, for irrigation or for suction. Flow sets the pace at which blood is cleared and the time a large washout takes, and it depends on the probe and tubing as well as the pressure. Blackstone is being asked for flow at stated pressures through its standard tubing, which is the only fair basis for judging the pump against the cases planned for it.

Any supply between 100 and 240 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz, which covers standard mains voltages worldwide without a transformer. At 50 V, the pump puts only a light load on a laparoscopic stack. The electrical classification, fuse rating, ng and applied part type are not given, and they have been requested for commissioning.

Most of the practical details. Beyond flow, the sheet omits the model number, the fluid bag or bottle arrangement, the tubing set, the canister, any filter or overflow protection, and the controls, display,y and alarms. Weight, product and packing dimensions, CE or UKCA status, warranty, and lead time are also absent. All of it has gone to Blackstone as a single request.
