Olympus PCF-H190L_I Video COLONOSCOPE

Overview

EVIS EXERA III PCF-H190L/I Video Colonoscope

Main features
RIT (Responsive Insertion Technology)
RIT combines three proprietary insertion tube technologies: HFT (High Force Transmission), PB (Passive Bending) and variable stiffness. These technologies are designed to facilitate complete colonoscopies by improving scope handling, insertability and ergonomics. PB helps EVIS EXERA III 190 series scopes move through acute bends in the colon. HFT provides improved operator control for both pushing and twisting manoeuvers. Variable stiffness allows the physician to adjust the rigidity of OLYMPUS scopes as needed,by simply turning an adjustment ring on the scope control section.

New wider angle
The new PCF-H190 scope adds 30° to its field of view to attain 170°, providing the same view as the larger CF scope. This wide view, combined with HDTV and NBI, enables closer, more detailed examination and observation.

NBI (Narrow Band Imaging)
NBI in EVIS EXERA III 190 series scopes provides twice the viewable distance of EVIS EXERA II 180 series scopes and offers much greater contrast between blood vessels and mucosa. The greatly improved performance of NBI opens up exciting new clinical applications and reinforces NBI’s position as the standard of care for GI endoscopy.

Waterproof One-touch Connector
A new connector design minimises the effort required for set-up prior to and in between cases. In addition, it is fully submersible and eliminates the need for a water-resistant cap and the associated risk of an expensive repair due to accidental immersion.
