A portable irrigation system is disclosed. The system comprises a reservoir for an irrigating liquid; a probe for arrangement in a user; and an electrical system. The electrical system includes an electrical pump for directly or indirectly pumping irrigation liquid from the reservoir to the probe. The irrigation system further comprises a control unit for controlling the electrical pump, and thereby also the transfer of said irrigation liquid; and tubing providing fluid communication between said reservoir, control unit and probe. The control unit comprises at least one manually operable control element, such as a control button, for controlling said electrical pump, said control element being switchable between an activated state, in which the electrical pump is controlled to pump irrigation liquid, and a deactivated state, in which the electrical pump is controlled not to pump irrigation liquid. Further the control element is brought into the activated state by continuous application of a predetermined condition thereto, and is immediately brought to the deactivated state when the predetermined condition ceases to be applied, thereby aborting pumping of the irrigation liquid, thereby implementing a dead man's handle functionality.La présente invention concerne un système d'irrigation transportable. Selon l'invention, le système comprend un réservoir de liquide d'irrigation ; une sonde prévue pour une mise en place sur un utilisateur ; et un système électrique. Le système électrique comprend une pompe électrique servant à pomper directement ou indirectement un liquide d'irrigation du réservoir vers la sonde. Le système d'irrigation comprend en outre une unité de commande destinée à commander la pompe électrique et, ainsi, également le transfert dudit liquide d'irrigation ; et des tuyaux souples établissant une communication fluidique entre ledit réservoir, ladite unité de commande et ladite sonde. L'unité de commande comprend au moins un élément de commande pouvant
