An endoscopy suite is adaptable for carrying out a plurality of endoscopy
procedures and/or for supporting several endoscopes being used
simultaneously in a given procedure. The endoscopy suite comprises a
memory unit in which are stored a plurality of predetermined sets of
parameters. Each of these sets comprises a unique set of parameters for
each of a plurality of endoscopic procedures. Once a specific endoscopic
procedure has been selected by the operator of the endoscopy suite and
one or more endoscopes appropriate for carrying out the specific
endoscopic procedure has been connected to the endoscopy suite, then the
set of parameters appropriate to the specific procedure are transferred
automatically to a controller, which controls the operation of the
components of the endoscopy suite to provide the predetermined lighting,
suction, and insufflation pressure levels for the selected endoscopy
procedure.
