Technical description
The balloon and accessories are single use in order to:
- Reduce the risks of cross-contamination, infection, etc.
- Achieve its performance safely and effectively (insertion of the balloon)
- Simplify its use for practitioners (no cleaning, disinfection and sterilization procedures to be implemented by users)
- The balloon is punctured during removal
Furthermore, ENDALIS® has not demonstrated that its device is compliant with the basic requirements of Directive 93/42/CEE and its amendment 2007/47/CEE, if it is re-used.
Consequently, the practitioner exposes himself to serious risks (see below) if he reuses this single use device.
