Circon ACMI M3-30A

The M3-30A serves urology departments that run cystoscopy lists. Cystoscopy is the examination of the bladder, and the telescope is the part of the instrument that lets the surgeon see. The surgeon looks through the eyepiece and reads the picture, while the assisting team prepares the sheath and the illumination before each session.

The telescope sits 30° off the shaft axis. As the telescope advances, the forward-oblique view brings the bladder wall into the picture beside the line of travel, and a turn of the instrument sweeps that view round the lining. The same movement lets the surgeon study the wall from more than one angle.

Upkeep shapes the routine. The telescope is autoclavable and reusable, and it is supplied non-sterile, so each case ends with a trip to the autoclave, a nd each new list begins with a sterilised instrument. No single-use optic has to be ordered, stored or discarded.

The 4 mm shaft carries the optics and the illumination along a working length of 29 cm. The telescope slides into a separate sheath for the examination, and the assisting team fits the two together before the session.

Departments that stock one 30° telescope standardise the supply. One instrument on the shelf serves the next list, and the white colour code marks it out from other telescopes in the store.

A department that relies on the telescope across many cases gains a predictable routine: examine, sterilise, store and use again. The M3 Gold series designation and the model name M3-30A identify the instrument on every record.

An autoclavable telescope

The telescope goes through steam sterilisation in an autoclave. One reusable instrument serves case after case.

A reusable optic

The telescope is reusable, so you don't have to reorder a single-use optic. The department tracks one item instead of a stream of consumables.

One routine to follow

The telescope is supplied non-sterile and goes through the autoclave before use. The same routine applies to every case on the list.

A 30° forward-oblique view

The view is 30° off the shaft axis. The surgeon sees the bladder wall beside the line of travel.

A 4 mm shaft

The shaft measures 4 mm across. It carries the optics and the illumination to the distal tip.

A 29 cm working length

The working length is 29 cm. It sets how far the optics travel into the bladder.

A white colour code

The telescope carries a white colour code. The code marks it out from other telescopes in the store.

A clear model identity

The model designation M3-30A and the M3 Gold series name identify the instrument. Both appear on the FDA GUDID record.

Rigid telescope construction

The telescope is a rigid optical instrument. It is the optical element of a rigid endoscope.

30° oblique direction of view

The view is 30° off the shaft axis. The angle brings the bladder wall into the picture beside the line of travel.

4 mm diameter

The shaft measures 4 mm across. It slides into a separate sheath for the examination.

29 cm working length

The working length is 29 cm. The figure sets the reach of the optics into the bladder.

Illumination to the tip

The telescope carries illumination along the shaft to the distal tip. The lit field matches the viewing direction.

Image return to the eyepiece

The optics return the image along the shaft to the eyepiece. The surgeon looks into the picture at the proximal end.

Eyepiece at the proximal end

The eyepiece sits at the proximal end of the telescope. The surgeon looks into it during the examination.

Autoclavable body

The body is autoclavable. Steam sterilisation returns the telescope to service between cases.

Reusable instrument

The telescope is reusable, not single-use. One instrument serves many lists.

Supplied non-sterile

The telescope arrives non-sterile and goes through the autoclave before use. The routine is the same for every case.

White colour code

The telescope carries a white colour code. The code identifies it in the store.

M3 Gold series

The telescope belongs to the M3 Gold series. The name appears on the FDA GUDID record.

Separate sheath

The sheath is a separate item. The telescope slides into it for the examination.

The M3-30A suits urology departments that run regular cystoscopy lists and want a telescope that returns to service between cases. Its autoclavable, reusable construction is the reason to choose it: one instrument goes through steam sterilisation, returns to the shelf, and serves the next list, with no single-use optic to reorder. A 30° forward-oblique view, a 4 mm shaft, and a 29 cm working length give each examination its reach. A white colour code and the M3 Gold name identify the instrument on every record, so the shelf stays orderly. The instrument measures 4 mm across and has a  29 cm working length.
