Olympus CYF-V2

The CYF-V2 serves urology departments that examine and treat the bladder, urethra, ureter and kidney through a flexible scope. A urologist passes the 5.4 mm insertion tube through the urethra and follows the examination on a live video image, with a 120° forward view and a depth of field from 3 to 50 mm. Theatre and endoscopy nurses assist at the control section and the monitor, and the four programmable switches keep frequently used functions within reach of the operating hand.

Diagnostic work is the first use. The wide view brings both ureteral orifices into one picture, and Narrow Band Imaging improves the visibility of vascular structures in the lining without dyes, drugs or contrast agents. The 210° upward and 120° downward bending range lets the tip follow the anatomy, while the EvolutionTip shaft profile is designed for smoother insertion and patient comfort.

Treatment is the second use. The 2.2 mm instrument channel accepts common endoscopic devices, and irrigation and aspiration run through it with one-handed suction control. Electrosurgical instruments work with the UES-40 unit, so a procedure can move from inspection to therapy without changing the scope.

Departments that reprocess scopes between lists plan around the leak test that precedes each cleaning, the MB-155 leakage tester, the MB-156 ETO cap and the BW-411B cleaning brush. The scope operates in rooms with conditions of 10 to 40 °C and 30 to 85% relative humidity. A department that standardises on one flexible video scope for inspection and therapy works to a single set of figures: a 4.8 mm distal end, a 5.4 mm insertion tube and a 380 mm working length.

One view for both ureteral orifices

The 120° field of view brings both ureteral orifices into a single picture. A urologist reaches both openings from one tip position, keeping the lower urinary tract examination compact.

A multicolour CCD image

A simultaneous multicolour CCD chip at the distal end produces large, bright images with consistent colour. The forward view has a depth of field from 3 to 50 mm, so structures within that range stay in focus.

Narrow Band Imaging for vascular detail

Narrow Band Imaging filters the light to improve the visibility of vascular structures. It works without dyes, drugs, gases, or contrast agents, and appears on the monitor with a compatible video system, centre, re and light source.

An EvolutionTip shaft profile

The proximal shaft is stiffer, the mid shaft is more flexible,e and the distal end bends passively. The profile is designed for smoother insertion and patient comfort during a flexible cystoscopy.

A narrow tube with a large channel

The insertion tube is 5.4 mm across, and the bullet-shaped distal end is 4.8 mm, yet the instrument channel is 2.2 mm (6.6 Fr). That channel accepts common endoscopic devices and carries irrigation and aspiration.

A bending range of 210° up and 120° down

The tip bends 210° up and 120° down. The range lets the examiner direct the view within the bladder and follow the upper urinary tract.

Four programmable switches

Four switches on the ergonomic control section hold frequently used functions. The operating hand reaches them without leaving the control section.

Electrosurgical instruments through the channel

The scope is compatible with electrosurgical instruments, and the UES-40 unit is compatible with electrosurgical equipment: isolated forceps and irrigation plug-area accessories.

A defined upkeep routine

Reprocessing starts with a leak test before each cleaning, using the MB-155 leakage tester. The MB-156 ETO cap, the BW-411B single-use cleaning brush and the MU-1 maintenance unit complete the set that each reprocessing cycle draws on.

Bullet-shaped 4.8 mm distal end

The distal end is bullet-shaped and measures 4.8 mm (12.9 Fr). It leads the insertion tube into the urethra.

5.4 mm insertion tube

The insertion tube is 5.4 mm (16.2 Fr) across. The shaft follows the distal end into the urinary tract.

380 mm working length

The working length is 380 mm. It is the length that passes into the urinary tract.

2.2 mm instrument channel

The channel is 2.2 mm (6.6 Fr) wide. It accepts common endoscopic devices and carries irrigation and aspiration.

120° field of view

The field of view is 120°. It brings both ureteral orifices into a single view.

0° forward direction of view

The direction of view is 0°, a forward view straight along the scope's axis.

3 to 50 mm depth of field

The depth of field runs from 3 to 50 mm, so structures anywhere within that range appear sharp.

210° up and 120° down bending

Angulation reaches 210° up and 120° down. Both directions are set from the control section.

Simultaneous multicolour CCD chip

The CCD chip at the distal end captures colour in a single exposure. It produces large, bright images of consistent colour.

Narrow Band Imaging support

The scope supports Narrow Band Imaging, which improves the visibility of vascular structures. The effect needs a compatible video system, centre,e and light source.

EvolutionTip construction

A stiffer proximal shaft, a more flexible mid shaft and a passively bending distal end make up the EvolutionTip profile.

Four programmable switches

The ergonomic control section carries four switches for frequently used functions. Their assignments are programmable.

Irrigation and aspiration

Irrigation and aspiration are optimised, with one-hand suction control. The 2.2 mm channel carries both.

Electrosurgical compatibility

Electrosurgical instruments work through the channel with the UES-40 electrosurgical unit. An isolated forceps and irrigation plug are compatible accessories.

Video system and light source compatibility

The scope works with the EVIS EXERA II CV-180 and the OTV-S7V VISERA video system centres. Light sources include the CLV-180, CLV-190, CLV-S190, CLV-S40, CLV-S45 and the VISERA ELITE.

Reprocessing set

The MB-155 leakage tester, the MB-156 ETO cap, the BW-411B cleaning brush and the MU-1 maintenance unit belong to the reprocessing set. A leak test precedes each cleaning.

Operating environment

The operating range is 10 to 40 °C at 30 to 85% relative humidity and 700 to 1060 hPa. Standard storage runs from 5 to 40 °C.

The CYF-V2 suits urology departments that want one flexible video scope for both inspection and treatment of the bladder, urethra, ureter and kidney. Its defining value is the 120° view, which holds both ureteral orifices in one picture, backed by a 2.2 mm channel in a 5.4 mm insertion tube and a 210° up and 120° down bending range. It earns its place where one scope must cover inspection and therapy in the same session. Departments that plan upkeep work to a leak test before each cleaning with the MB-155 tester, the MB-156 ETO cap and the BW-411B brush. The CYF-V2 is classified as Class IIa under Directive 93/42/EEC.
