Women of childbearing potential must have a negative result of pregnancy test prior to study entry and agree to use highly effective methods of contraception to prevent pregnancy during the study period. 5. Patient with ability to understand and provide written, signed and dated informed consent form, which must have been obtained prior to screening. 6. Patient willing and able to comply with all the study requirements and return for a follow-up visit on Day 4 after the procedure.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients with a known sensitivity to benzodiazepines, Flumazenil, opioids, Naloxone, or a medical condition such that these agents are contraindicated. 2. Patients expected duration of procedure greater than 30 minutes. 3. Patients with a suspected or diagnosed pathology of the lower GI tract that would have added to the risk of colonoscopy, such as strictures, active inflammatory bowel disease. 4. Patients with chronic use of benzodiazepines for any indication (e.g., insomnia, anxiety and spasticity). 5. Patients with chronic use of opioids for any indication. 6. Female patients who are pregnant or breast feeding. 7. Patients with evidence of uncontrolled renal, hepatic, central nervous system, respiratory, cardiovascular or metabolic dysfunction, or other clinically significant findings at screening that, in the investigator s opinion, should have excluded them from the study. 8. Patients in whom management of airway is judged to be difficult due to, e.g., thyro-mental distance smaller than or equal to 4 cm ( short neck ), or modified Mallampati score of IV. 9. Patients with clinically significant abnormalities in 12 lead ECG recorded at screening. 10. Patients with a positive serum ethanol at baseline. 11. Patients with clinically significant impaired hepatic function (SGOT & SGPT more than 2.5X the ULN and/or Total bilirubin more than 1.5X the ULN) at screening. 12. Patients with clinically significant impaired renal function (BUN and Serum creatinine more than the upper limit of normal) at screening. 13. Patients with known case of anemia or thrombocytopenia, (hemoglobin less than 9 g per dL, platelet count less than 80 109 per L) at screening. 14. Patients with uncontrolled hypertension with sitting systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 160 mmHg and or diastolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 100 mmHg at screening. 15. Patients diagnosed with heart disease (heart failure, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction and heart rhythm abnormalities). 16. Patients with a history of substance or alcohol abuse or dependence within the past 2 years. 17.

Patients with suspected inability or unwillingness to comply with the study procedures. 20. Patient with any condition which, in the judgment of the Investigator, may render the patient unable to complete the study or which may pose a significant risk to the patient.
