HDTV

Featuring HDTV imaging capability, Optera endoscopes* deliver an edge-to-edge high-resolution image with sharp and clear details. The result is superior imaging with minimal halation and image noise. From now on, high-definition imaging will become standard.

NBI (Narrow Band Imaging)

NBI enhances the visibility of capillaries and other structures on the mucosal surface, which minimizes invasion such as unnecessary biopsies and improves examination quality. NBI is now available in the Optera system where it can be combined with HDTV for maximum effectiveness.

Close Focus

With the close focus function, lesions that used to be out of focus in conventional closeup observation can be observed clearly as close as 2 mm. You can observe and capture clear, large-sized images of fine mucosal tissues and vascular patterns.

Pre-freeze Function

A new pre-freeze function saves time and eliminates the physician’s frustration when capturing still images. The new CV-170 automatically buffers a continuous, rapid series of procedural images. When capturing a still image, the pre-freeze function analyzes the previous images and displays and saves the sharpest image of the desired view. This function helps physicians obtain a clear visual record of the procedure in the shortest possible time.

Structure Enhancement

Structure enhancement increases the sharpness of endoscopic images by using sophisticated processing algorithms to suppress noise. It highlights subtle tissue textures and slight color variations on the mucosa. In addition to the popular Type A, Type B is also provided. Mainly, the conventional Type A is ideal for observation of larger mucosal tissues with high contrast in the lower gastrointestinal tract, while the new Type B is suitable for observation of vascular tissues in the upper gastrointestinal tract.

LED Light Source

The Optera processor (CV-170) is equipped with a built-in light source that uses LED lamps. LED light source offers 50% higher brightness than a 150 W halogen lamp. It achieves the sufficient level of brightness for observation in gastrointestinal tract. In addition, since it has much longer lifetime, you rarely have to change the lamp. So both maintenance time and running costs are minimized.

Waterproof Connector

Unlike previous generations of endoscopes, Optera endoscopes do not require a water-resistant cap. This simplifies reprocessing and minimizes the risk of repair costs due to liquid ingress. The enhanced effi ciency delivered by the new waterproof connector also helps expedite procedure room setup and turnover.

Portable Memory Compatibility

Portable memory (MAJ-1925) has become an accepted standard for data exchange. OLYMPUS now offers a memory port incorporated into the CV-170. A high-speed dedicated portable 2 GB memory is compatible with PCs. The CV-170 automatically transfers released images to the memory, allowing you to download information to a PC or recording devices. This enables you to save system settings, user preset settings and patient data. High-speed data recording using the portable memory provides you with fast and efficient data management.
