Official product description
PneumoSure XL High Flow Insufflator and PneumoSure High Flow Insufflator; High pressure units (HPU) (40L and 45L).

The insufflator consists of a console, that is intended to be connected to a CO2 gas source, and has a tubeset inserted to transport CO2 gas from the insufflator to the connecting trocar.
Why the product was recalled
When operating the device in high flow mode (40L/min, 15 mmHg) and connecting to a house gas inlet source, within seconds of insufflating the flow rate would drop to 0L/min and the red Check Gas Supply symbol would appear on the display, immediately suspending insufflation.
