ABSTRACT:
A portable, disposable irrigation assembly of the type used to flush fecal matter from the intestine when normal bodily functions are not sufficient to accomplish evacuation of the intestine. Irrigation of the intestine by irrigating fluid is provided by directing the irrigating fluid from a storage reservoir through an elongated conduit into the intestine by an introduction cone or like structure. The creation of peristaltic action is indicative of sufficient quantity of irrigating fluid being introduced wherein such peristaltic action is sufficient to accomplish evacuation of the fecal matter. An indicator element is disposed withn the flow path and along a path of liquid flow of the irrigating fluid and is specifically structured to flow in the same direction as the irrigating fluid from the reservoir to the intestine and in a reverse direction, from the intestine back through the conduit when peristaltic action is sufficient. Flow of irrigating liquid is stopped upon a sufficient indication of reverse flow through movement of the indicator element.
