Various implementations include an insufflation system for use with an endoscope. The insufflation system includes a housing, CO 2 system, water system, foot pedal, control system, aromatic dispersion system, audio system, and water tubing valve. Various implementations also include a more visible foot pedal, which is useful in low-lighting or difficult-to-see environments. In some implementations, a valve couples conduits from two water containers to an endoscope. The valve allows for more than one water container to be connected to the endoscope simultaneously. In the first position, water flows only from the first water container. In the second position, water flows only from the second water container. The valve prevents water-flow from both of the water containers to happen simultaneously. The valve allows for the operator to quickly switch the source of the water, thereby facilitating the continuation of a procedure in the case that the first water container is fully depleted. |
