Olympus GIF N260

The GIF-N260 supports upper digestive examinations in endoscopy units and hospital gastroenterology departments that run video systems on CV-200 to CV-260SL processors. The examination room keeps the scope beside its video processor, and the monitor displays the image to the whole team.

The operator holds the control head and operates the bending controls, while endoscopy nurses prepare accessories and attend to the patient. Bending runs in one direction, so the operator thinks of the tip as moving up or down.

The first use is examination. The 5.2 mm tube guides the tip through the upper digestive tract, and the 1,100 mm working length carries it along the route. A 120° field of view takes in the tissue around the tip, and the tip bends up and down to follow the passage. The 5.2 mm tube diameter determines how much of the scope passes through the patient.

The second use is sampling. The 2.0 mm channel opens at the control head and ends at the tip, so accessories reach the tissue shown in the video. Examination and the sampling that follows it share one insertion.

The third use is routine work across a full list. Each patient uses the same tube, the same bending directions, and the same channel, so a unit can plan its sessions around one familiar instrument on a processor it already has: steering, imaging and the sampling route repeat from one patient to the next. The monitor shows every tip adjustment as it happens, keeping the whole team following the examination.

Steering is limited to one direction.

The tip bends up and down from one control head. The operator follows the passage in a single plane.

A 5.2 mm insertion tube

The tube measures 5.2 mm in diameter and carries the sensor signal, light guide,e and channel. That diameter sets the size of the part that enters the patient.

A 120° field of view

The field of view spans 120°. The operator sees a wide area of tissue as the scope advances.

A 2.0 mm channel for accessories

The channel runs from the control head to the tip. Accessories passed through it reach the tissue in the picture, so sampling follows the look in a single insertion.

A 1,100 mm working length

The 1,100 mm working length carries the tip along the upper digestive tract. That figure tells a unit how far the tip travels from the control head.

A 1,420 mm total length

The scope measures 1,420 mm in total. A unit that plans handling around the instrument has that dimension to work from.

Four named video processors

The CV-200, CV-240, CV-260 and CV-260SL are the video processors named for this scope. A department with any one of them in place links the scope to a system it already runs.

A video picture is formed at the tip

A sensor in the distal end builds the picture at the point of examination. Each adjustment of the tip appears on the monitor immediately.

Image sensor at the distal end

The distal sensor turns the view at the tip into a video image.

120° field of view

The field of view spans 120° around the tip.

5.2 mm insertion tube

The insertion tube measures 5.2 mm in diameter and carries the sensor signal, light guide, and channel.

1,100 mm working length

The 1,100 mm working length is the distance the tip extends beyond the control head.

1,420 mm total length

The scope's total length is 1,420 mm.

2.0 mm instrument channel

The instrument channel measures 2.0 mm across and passes accessories from the control head to the tip.

Two-way bending

The tip bends in one plane, up and down.

Bending up

The tip bends upward, controlled from the control head.

Bending down

The tip bends downward, controlled from the same control head.

Control head

The control head gathers the bending control and the channel opening in the operator's hand.

Light guide

A light guide runs through the tube and carries illumination to the tip.

Flexible insertion tube

A flexible tube holds the sensor signal, the light guide and the channel together from the control head to the tip.

CV-200 to CV-260SL processor compatibility

The CV-200, CV-240, CV-260 and CV-260SL are the video processors named for this model.

Video gastroscope

The scope is a video gastroscope, built to examine the upper digestive tract and to sample through its channel.

The GIF-N260 suits endoscopy units that want a slim video gastroscope for upper digestive examination and a steering design limited to one pair of directions. A 5.2 mm tube provides a 120° field of view and a 2.0 mm channel, so viewing and sampling happen in a single insertion. A department that already has a CV-200, CV-240, CV-260, or CV-260SL processor connects the scope to its equipment, and the 1,100 mm working length carries the tip along the passage. Up-and-down bending gives rotating endoscopy teams one movement to learn. The 2.0 mm channel delivers accessories to the tissue shown in the picture. The scope is 1,420 mm long.
