Apparatus for the inflation and deflation of balloon catheters and a method for its use
First Claim
1. Apparatus for the inflation and deflation of balloon catheters and a method for its use, the apparatus being of the type comprising a pump for a fluid for the inflation of the balloon, the pump being connected to the catheter for supplying the balloon, with motor-driven means for actuating the pump and a control device, characterized in that it comprises, in a single transportable body, provided with a handle, a support for a motor-driven impelling syringe unit connected to a catheter, forming a single-use, replaceable element, driven by means of a motor and helical screw unit the motor of which is operated by means of a control board which receives information relating to the force of the piston of the motor-driven syringe, its positioning, and also phonetic instructions from a microphone and electronic instructions from a touch screen which can display the parameters indicative of the progress of the operation for the correction of a lesion of an organic duct as well as receiving instructions from the operator.

Abstract
The apparatus is characterized in that it comprises, in a single, transportable body provided with a handle, a support for a motor-driven impelling syringe unit connected to a pressure tube, forming a single-use, replaceable element, driven by means of a motor and helical-screw unit the motor of which is operated by means of a control board which receives information relating to the force of the piston of the motor-driven syringe, its positioning, and also acoustic (or phonetic) instructions from a microphone, and electronic instructions from a touch screen which can display the parameters indicative of the progress of the operation for the correction a lesion of an organic duct (artery, vein, bile duct, urological duct, etc.) as well as receiving instructions from the operator.
