Olympus GIF-Q165

The GIF-Q165 serves endoscopy suites and gastroenterology departments that examine the upper digestive tract. The endoscopist steers the scope and reads the video picture, while the assisting team connects the scope to the processor and the monitor before each examination.

The scope passes through the oesophagus into the stomach and on to the duodenum. A 140° forward view keeps the lumen ahead of the tip in the picture, and focus ranges from 3 to 100 mm, so detail on the lining and the wider lumen share one image.

Four-way bending of 210° up, 90° down, and 100° to each side lets the endoscopist aim the tip at each wall in turn. The 9.2 mm tube and 1,030 mm working length carry the tip to areas of interest in the upper tract.

A 2.8 mm channel supports sampling and treatment during the same passage. Biopsy accessories and therapeutic accessories that suit the bore pass down the channel while the picture stays on the monitor.

Departments with several gastroscopes use the Scope ID to keep each instrument identified. The memory chip displays the identity on the monitor when the scope connects, so the team knows which scope serves each patient and can tie each session to one instrument.

Units that run the EVIS EXERA II system pair the scope with a video processor in the CV-140, CV-145 or CV-160 range. The processor, the monitor and the scope then work as one examination set from the first view to the last.

Scope ID shown on the monitor

A built-in memory chip holds the Scope ID, and the ID displays on the monitor. The team sees which scope is connected without reading a label on the instrument.

Individual tracking across several scopes

Each gastroscope carries its own identity. A department with a group of scopes can follow every instrument individually, because the identity is stored in the scope itself.

A 140° forward view

The optics show a 140° field straight ahead of the tip. The operator keeps a broad area of the tract in view as the scope advances.

Focus from 3 to 100 mm.

Depth of field runs from 3 to 100 mm. Surfaces near the tip and structures farther along the view stay in focus together.

Four-way tip bending

The tip bends 210° up, 90° down, 100° right and 100° left. The operator can aim the forward view at any wall of the tract.

A 2.8 mm biopsy channel

The channel measures 2.8 mm across and takes biopsy and therapeutic accessories sized for the bore. Sampling and treatment therefore follow the examination in a single pass.

A choice of three processors

The scope connects to Olympus processors from the CV-140 to the CV-160, including the CV-145. A unit that runs any of those processors can place the scope on its system.

A 9.2 mm tube from tip to control section

The insertion tube and the distal end both measure 9.2 mm across. The 1,030 mm working length carries the tip into the upper digestive tract.

Part of the EVIS EXERA II system

The scope is part of the EVIS EXERA II system. The processor, monitor, and scope share one examination routine.

Scope ID memory chip

A memory chip built into the scope stores its identity. The chip stays with the instrument wherever it is used.

Scope ID on the monitor

The identity displays on the connected system's monitor. The team reads it on screen at the start of an examination.

140° field of view

The optics cover 140° ahead of the tip. The wide field helps the operator follow the lumen as the scope advances.

Forward direction of view

The optics look forward along the tip axis. The picture keeps the area the scope is moving toward in view.

3 to 100 mm depth of field

Focus holds from 3 mm out to 100 mm. Detail at the tip and the wider view share one picture.

Four-way tip bending

Four bending directions sit at the distal end. Together, they let the operator aim the tip across the tract's full cross-section.

210° upward bend

The tip bends up to 210°. That movement turns the view back toward the upper wall.

90° downward bend

The tip bends down by 90°. The movement tilts the view toward the lower wall.

100° bend to each side

Right and left bending each reach 100°. The operator sweeps the view across the tract'ss ide wall

2.8 mm instrument channel

A 2.8 mm channel runs the length of the insertion tube. Biopsy and therapeutic accessories sized for that bore pass through it.

9.2 mm insertion tube

The insertion tube measures 9.2 mm in diameter. It holds the channel and the imaging and steering parts along its 1,030 mm working length.

9.2 mm distal end

The distal end measures 9.2 mm across. It carries the optics and the channel opening at the tip.

1,030 mm working length

The working length is 1,030 mm. It sets how far the tip travels into the upper digestive tract.

1,345 mm total length

The scope measures 1,345 mm in total length. The figure shows the instrument's overall length.

CV-140, CV-145 and CV-160 processors

The scope connects to Olympus video processors in the CV-140, CV-145 and CV-160 range. Its Scope ID then appears on the connected monitor.

EVIS EXERA II system

The scope is part of the EVIS EXERA II system. It works with the system's processors and monitor.

The GIF-Q165 suits endoscopy departments that run a group of gastroscopes and want every instrument identified on screen. Its Scope ID memory is the reason to choose it: the chip stores the identity in the scope, the monitor displays it, and each instrument can be followed individually from one examination to the next. A 140° forward view, 3-100 mm focus, four-way bending, and a 2.8 mm biopsy channel give the examination its working range, and processors from the CV-140 to the CV-160 carry the image. The working length is 1,030 mm, and the total scope length is 1,345 mm.
