Olympus GIF-XP180N

The GIF-XP180N serves endoscopy units, outpatient clinics and hospital gastroenterology departments that examine the upper digestive tract in narrow anatomy. Its 5.5 mm tube suits the nasal passage, and the mouth is the second route, so one scope covers both approaches.

Gastroenterologists and endoscopy nurses use it to diagnose conditions in the upper tract. The 120° forward view and 3-100 mm focus range let the operator examine the mucosa and then take in the wider passage. Four-way angulation turns the tip 210° up, 90° down, and 100° to each side, helping the operator follow bends and aim at either wall of a narrow lumen.

Units that favour minimal sedation value a slim tube, because the person stays awake and the passage is small. Outpatient lists that include nasal examinations find the 5.5 mm tube a natural fit, since the same scope also serves oral insertion when a case calls for it. Narrow band imaging adds a filtered-light view of microvessels and mucosal changes when the scope is connected to the CV-180 video processor and the CLV-180 light source. The operator reads surface and vessel patterns on the same monitor that shows the white-light picture.

Departments that keep several scopes in rotation use Scope ID, which shows each instrument's stored information on screen. Compatibility with the CV-140, CV-160 and CV-180 video processors lets the scope join a system already in the room. The ergonomic grip, easy-to-access knob,s and user-programmable switches keep the main functions within reach across a long list.

A 5.5 mm tube for narrow anatomy

At 5.5 mm, the insertion tube and the distal end suit narrow anatomy and the nasal passage. The examination can then run with minimal sedation for the right patient.

Four directions of bending

The tip moves up, down, right and left. A scope that steers in all four directions lets the operator place the lens where the examination needs it.

Sideways steering of 100° each way

The right and left ranges each reach 100°. The operator aims the tip at either wall of a narrow passage as the scope advances.

Narrow band imaging with the CV-180 and CLV-180

NBI filters white light into wavelength bands that emphasise microvessels and mucosal changes. The mode is available when the scope connects to the CV-180 processor and the CLV-180 light source.

Minimal sedation within reach

The slim tube supports examination with minimal sedation. Units that offer this pathway gain a scope sized for it.

A 120° forward view

The lens looks straight ahead across 120°. The way forward stays in sight as the tube advances through a narrow passage.

A 2.0 mm channel for accessories

The instrument channel carries accessories to the tip. Sampling or treatment can follow the inspection in the same insertion.

Three processors, one scope

The CV-140, CV-160 and CV-180 video processors all work with the GIF-XP180N. A suite built around any of them can add the scope.

Scope identification on screen

Scope ID stores individual information in a built-in memory chip. The monitor shows it, so each instrument is identified at the point of use.

5.5 mm insertion tube

The insertion tube measures 5.5 mm in outer diameter. That slim width suits narrow anatomy and nasal insertion, and it carries the channel, optics, and bending section.

5.5 mm distal end

The distal end also measures 5.5 mm, so the tip maintains the tube's profile. The lens sits at this end.

2.0 mm instrument channel

The channel has an inner diameter of 2.0 mm. Instruments travel from the control head to the tip through it, so viewing and handling share a single insertion.

1,100 mm working length

The 1,100 mm working length is the part of the scope that enters the person being examined. It carries the bending section at its distal end.

1,420 mm total length

Overall, the scope measures 1,420 mm. The figure guides cart, bench and storage planning for the complete instrument.

120° forward field of view

The lens looks straight ahead across 120°. A forward view matches the direction of travel, so the passage ahead stays in sight.

Depth of field from 3 to 100 mm

Focus holds from 3 to 100 mm. Near surfaces and far ones both stay in view during one examination.

3.0 mm minimum visible distance

The closest visible point lies 3.0 mm from the distal end. Inspect tissue near the tip at close range.

210° upward bending

The tip bends 210° upward. The range sweeps the forward view up from the straight position through a wide arc.

90° downward bending

Downward bending reaches 90°. Together with the upward range, it steers the tip along the tract's curves.

100° bending to each side

The tip bends 100° to the right and 100° to the left. These sideways ranges complete the four-way steering.

Narrow band imaging

NBI is a filtered-light mode for studying microvessels and mucosal changes. It is available with the CV-180 video processor and the CLV-180 light source.

Ergonomic grip and knobs

The grip fits the operator's hand, and the angulation knobs sit within easy reach. Steering stays under the fingers throughout insertion.

User-programmable switches

The user can program the switches on the control head. Frequently used functions then sit under the fingertips.

Scope ID memory chip

A built-in memory chip stores individual scope information. The connected monitor displays it, simplifying endoscopy suite management.

Video processor compatibility

The scope works with the CV-140, CV-160 and CV-180 video processors. As part of the EVIS EXERA II family, it integrates with systems built on that platform.

The GIF-XP180N suits endoscopy units that examine the upper digestive tract in narrow anatomy and require nasal and oral insertion through a single instrument. Its strength is pairing a 5.5 mm tube with four-way bending: the tip turns 210° up, 90° down,, and 100° to each side,, while a 120° forward view stays on the passage ahead. Units that favour minimal sedation are the natural match, and suites running on the CV-140, CV-160, or CV-180 processors can add it directly. NBI extends the scope into vessel and mucosal study on the CV-180 and CLV-180. The 1,100 mm working length reaches into the upper digestive tract.
