High-Definition Imaging for Detailed Colon Examination
The Olympus CF-H180AL HD video colonoscope combines advanced imaging capabilities with flexible scope handling. Its imaging system supports detailed visualisation of the colon, while Narrow Band Imaging™ can enhance the appearance of mucosal tissue and capillary structures.
This refurbished unit has been removed from clinical service following an equipment upgrade and is described as having:
- No buckles or visible damage to the insertion tube
- Excellent image quality
- Good light transmission
- Proper tip deflection
- Fully tested functionality
- Refurbished condition
Advanced Visualisation with NBI and Wide-Angle Viewing
The Olympus CF-H180AL incorporates imaging features designed to support comprehensive endoscopic observation.
Key visualisation features include:
- HDTV-type imaging for high-resolution image display
- Narrow Band Imaging™ (NBI) for enhanced visualisation of mucosal and vascular structures
- Close Focus capability for detailed observation at close range
- 170° wide field of view for broad visualisation of the colon
- High-quality image and light transmission
These features make the CF-H180AL suitable for facilities requiring an advanced Olympus video colonoscope for gastroenterology applications.
Auxiliary Water Function for Improved Visibility
The colonoscope includes an auxiliary water function that can be used with a dedicated flushing pump. This feature allows mucus, clots, and other material to be cleared from the observation area when required.
Benefits of the Auxiliary Water System
- Supports clearer visualisation during procedures
- Enables flushing directly through the scope system
- Can be operated using the scope controls or supported footswitch equipment
- Helps maintain a clearer observation field
Variable Stiffness for Improved Scope Handling
The Olympus CF-H180AL flexible colonoscope incorporates innoflex™ Variable Stiffness technology. This system allows the flexibility of the insertion tube to be adjusted according to procedural requirements and the anatomical contours encountered during colonoscopy.
Handling Advantages
- Adjustable insertion tube stiffness
- Flexible design for colonoscopic navigation
- Supports adaptation to varying anatomical conditions
- Designed to assist endoscope handling during examinations
