Enhanced Image Quality

HQ scopes employ advanced OLYMPUS optics, improved image sensors and the new CV-190 video processor to deliver exceptionally clear, high-resolution images. The result is superior imaging with reduced halation and image noise and increased contrast and brightness. In the EVIS EXERA III generation, high-definition imaging will become standard on the core range of endoscopes.

Dual Focus

Dual focus two-stage optical lens technology from OLYMPUS allows physicians to switch from normal focus mode to near focus mode with a single button, so they can conduct close examination of mucosal tissue and capillary networks. The new technology lets physicians select the desired depth of field and obtain high-quality images at the same time, bringing a new level of visualization to routine examinations.

PRE-FREEZE

Capture a crisp, clear image the first time. EVIS EXERA III dramatically increases the sharpness and clarity of still-image captures, due to a new still-image capture algorithm.

Wider Angle

The 170° wide-angle field of view, which has been standard on adult OLYMPUS colonoscopes, is now available on regular EVIS EXERA III 190 Series pediatric scopes (PCF-H190L/I). The benefits of wide-angle endoscopy include brighter imaging on the periphery and a 30° wider field of view. This can help physicians to detect mucosal changes more rapidly with less need for angulation.

Responsive Insertion Technology

RIT consists of three technologies that work together to improve ease of insertion and operator control, which may help to minimize patient discomfort and enhance procedural efficiency.

Passive Bending

This technology allows for smooth passage through acute flexures by allowing the distal tip of the scope to “deflect” and conform to the natural anatomy. Conventional scopes create a “candy cane” effect causing distended anatomy, patient discomfort and procedural difficulty.

High Force Transmission

High Force Transmission enables a 1:1 transfer of pushing & rotating forces to the distal end of the colonoscope, improving ergonomics and scope responsiveness.

Variable Stiffness

Variable stiffness allows the flexibility of a scope to be changed incrementally by manipulating a flexibility adjustment ring.

NBI

Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) is an optical image enhancement technology that enhances the visibility and characterisation of healthy and abnormal tissue and other structures on the mucosal surface. Now with EVIS EXERA III, there is 1.5 times brighter light which gives twice the viewable distance and much greater contrast under NBI, which opens up new clinical applications and reinforces NBI’s acceptance as a standard of care.

ScopeGuide

ScopeGuide is a GPS for the colon designed to improve efficiency and patient comfort, even during difficult procedures. ScopeGuide is integrated into EVIS EXERA III with the CF-HQ190 colonoscope.
