Pump with integrated control unit

摘要

A pump for use in anal irrigation includes a control unit integrated in the pump. The control unit includes a cylindrical housing element and a valve element fitted in the housing. The valve element and the housing element are adapted for rotating with respect to each other between a position allowing the pump to pump air into a balloon, a position allowing the pump to pump air into a reservoir bag and an evacuation position. The control unit is actuated by a handle attached to the rotatable valve element. The handle extends radially out from the rotatable valve element and the cylindrical housing.

1. An anal irrigation system comprising:
a control unit integrated into a pump, the control unit comprising a cylindrical housing element and a valve element fitted inside and extending between opposite ends of the cylindrical housing element,
where the valve element and the cylindrical housing element are adapted for rotating with respect to each other between a position allowing the pump to pump air into a balloon, a position allowing the pump to pump air into a reservoir bag, and an evacuation position; a pump handle attached to the cylindrical housing element; a control unit handle attached to the valve element at opposite ends of a longitudinal length of the cylindrical housing element; wherein the control unit handle extends radially out from the valve element; and wherein the pump handle defines a pivot axis of the pump and the valve element defines a rotation axis of the control unit, and the pivot axis and the rotation axis coincide.
