the need to properly process the insufflation bulb with each use, but restricts internal
contamination and aspiration of fluids.
Caution: Do not disassemble the insufflation bulb.
Caution: The insufflation bulb may discolor after disinfection or sterilization
without effecting performance.
Caution: Do not autoclave insufflation system. Damage will occur.
