The Olympus BF-Q180 is a flexible video bronchoscope from the renowned EVIS EXERA II platform, engineered for hospital pulmonology departments, dedicated bronchoscopy suites, operating rooms, intensive care units, and tertiary thoracic teaching institutes. Manufactured by Olympus, the BF-Q180 combines a high-resolution image sensor, Narrow Band Imaging, and a slim ergonomic design to deliver exceptional visualisation across diagnostic bronchoscopy, bronchoalveolar lavage, transbronchial biopsy, and therapeutic intervention workflows.

The slim insertion design is the hallmark of the BF-Q180. The insertion tube measures just 5.1 mm in outer diameter while the distal end measures 5.5 mm, supporting easier navigation through the bronchial tree, improved patient comfort, and access to peripheral airways often beyond the reach of conventional bronchoscopes. The 600 mm working length and 870 mm total length suit adult bronchoscopy across diagnostic, surveillance, and interventional procedures.

The high-resolution image sensor delivers expanded image size and outstanding clarity across the bronchial tree. Narrow Band Imaging enhances visualisation of mucosal morphology and capillary patterns at the touch of a switch, supporting confident detection of suspicious lesions, dysplasia, and early bronchial neoplasia. Structure enhancement processing further sharpens detail rendering. The 120° forward field of view and 3-100 mm depth of field deliver comprehensive bronchial tree examination across routine and surveillance procedures.

A 2.0 mm instrument channel accommodates a wide range of biopsy forceps, brushes, transbronchial needle aspiration accessories, hemostatic devices, and laser fibres. Up 180°/Down 130° angulation supports access to upper lobe and segmental airways, while compatibility with Nd:YAG and 810 nm diode lasers plus electrosurgery enables therapeutic bronchoscopy. The BF-Q180 is fully compatible with the Olympus CV-180, CV-160, and CV-140 video processors plus the CLV-180 xenon light source. The ScopeID function stores scope information on the monitor.

Diagnostic Bronchoscopy

The Olympus BF-Q180 supports diagnostic bronchoscopy across patients presenting with haemoptysis, persistent cough, abnormal chest imaging, suspected lung cancer, and unexplained pulmonary symptoms. High-resolution imaging, Narrow Band Imaging, and the 120° field of view support thorough bronchial tree examination, mucosal assessment, and confident clinical decision-making.

Bronchoalveolar Lavage and Cytology

Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), bronchial brushings, and cytology sampling rely on the BF-Q180's 2.0 mm instrument channel and reliable suction. The slim insertion tube enables access to segmental and subsegmental airways, supporting comprehensive sampling for infectious workup, malignancy screening, and interstitial lung disease diagnosis.

Transbronchial Biopsy

Transbronchial biopsy (TBB) for parenchymal lung disease evaluation benefits from the BF-Q180's slim profile, four-way angulation, and 2.0 mm channel accommodating biopsy forceps. The bronchoscope supports peripheral lung sampling for interstitial lung disease, sarcoidosis, and lung cancer staging across pulmonology services.

Lung Cancer Screening and Surveillance

Lung cancer screening and post-treatment surveillance rely on the BF-Q180's Narrow Band Imaging and high-resolution sensor for detection of mucosal dysplasia, early bronchial neoplasia, and recurrent disease. NBI mucosal vascular pattern visualisation supports targeted biopsy and clinical decision-making across thoracic oncology services.

Therapeutic Bronchoscopy

Therapeutic bronchoscopy including laser tumour debulking, electrocautery, foreign body removal, and stricture management benefits from the BF-Q180's compatibility with Nd:YAG and 810 nm diode lasers plus Olympus electrosurgery devices. The 2.0 mm channel supports endotherapy accessory deployment across hospital interventional pulmonology services and thoracic surgery suites today.

For Hospital Pulmonology and Bronchoscopy Suites

The Olympus BF-Q180 brings premium bronchoscopy to hospital pulmonology departments and dedicated bronchoscopy suites through high-resolution imaging, Narrow Band Imaging, slim 5.1 mm insertion tube, and laser/electrosurgery compatibility. Full CV-180/CV-160/CV-140 processor compatibility, robust ergonomic design, and Olympus service support meet stringent procurement compliance. Long-term reliability and comprehensive endotherapy support deliver strong return on investment across institutional thoracic services worldwide.

For Operating Rooms and Interventional Pulmonology

The BF-Q180 supports operating room bronchoscopy and dedicated interventional pulmonology services through laser and electrosurgery compatibility, the 2.0 mm instrument channel, and Up 180°/Down 130° angulation. ScopeID function streamlines lab management while the slim ergonomic profile reduces operator fatigue during prolonged interventional procedures across thoracic surgery and pulmonology suites worldwide today.

Slim 5.1 mm Insertion Tube Design

The 5.1 mm insertion tube outer diameter (5.5 mm distal end) supports easier navigation through the bronchial tree, improved patient comfort, and access to peripheral airways often beyond conventional bronchoscope reach.

High-Resolution Imaging

The high-resolution image sensor delivers expanded image size and outstanding clarity across the bronchial tree. Structure enhancement processing further sharpens detail rendering during diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopy procedures.

Narrow Band Imaging Technology

Narrow Band Imaging enhances visualisation of mucosal morphology and capillary patterns at the touch of a switch, supporting detection of suspicious lesions, dysplasia, and early bronchial neoplasia in lung cancer screening workflows.

2.0 mm Instrument Channel

The 2.0 mm instrument channel accommodates biopsy forceps, brushes, transbronchial needle aspiration accessories, hemostatic devices, and laser fibres while maintaining suction for clear visualisation during procedures.

120° Forward Field of View

The 120° forward field of view and 3-100 mm depth of field deliver comprehensive bronchial tree examination. Up 180°/Down 130° angulation supports access to upper lobe and segmental airways during procedures.

Laser and Electrosurgery Compatibility

The BF-Q180 is compatible with Nd:YAG and 810 nm diode lasers plus Olympus electrosurgery devices, supporting therapeutic bronchoscopy including tumour debulking, hemostasis, and stricture treatment.

ScopeID Lab Management

The ScopeID function stores individual scope information and displays it on the monitor, facilitating streamlined management in pulmonary labs and operating rooms across high-throughput hospital bronchoscopy services.
