Description
The Olympus 170 endoscope system, specifically the CV-170 Video System Center, is a high-definition (HDTV) endoscopy platform designed for improved visualization and diagnostic capabilitiesIt incorporates features like Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) and a long-life LED light source, making it suitable for various endoscopic procedures, including cystoscopy in urology. The system is compatible with existing endoscopes and offers various signal output options. 
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
Key Features and Benefits:
  • Provides superior image quality for detailed observation of mucosal structures, capillaries, and other patterns. 

  • Narrow Band Imaging (NBI):
    Enhances the visibility of capillaries and mucosal structures, aiding in the early detection of cancerous or pre-cancerous conditions. 

  • LED Light Source:
    Offers a long-life, energy-efficient, and quiet alternative to traditional xenon or halogen lamps, reducing the need for frequent replacements. 

  • Structure Enhancement:
    Features two types of structure enhancement (Type A and Type B) optimized for different parts of the gastrointestinal tract, improving visualization and diagnosis. 

  • Automatically selects the clearest still image, saving time and reducing physician frustration. 

  • Portable Memory Compatibility:
    Supports the MAJ-1925 portable memory for easy data management. 

  • Backwards Compatibility:
    Compatible with a range of existing Olympus endoscopes, extending the lifespan of older equipment. 

  • Versatile Signal Output:
    Offers various signal output options, including HDTV (16:9 and 16:10), and analog outputs, ensuring compatibility with different monitors. 

Specific Applications:
  • The CV-170 is well-suited for examining the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and colon. 

  • Bronchoscopy:
    The BF-Q170 bronchoscope, a component of the 170 series, facilitates routine examinations and treatments in the tracheobronchial tree. 

  • The CV-170, when combined with HD cystoscopes, enables high-definition cystoscopy, which is valuable for diagnostic procedures in the bladder. 

  • The CV-170 is also used in ENT (ear, nose, and throat) procedures. 

In essence, the Olympus 170 endoscope system provides a cost-effective solution for enhanced visualization, improved diagnostic capabilities, and extended usability for various endoscopic procedures.
