Olympus CV-260SL Endoscopy Tower

Includes:

- Olympus tower Model : CV-260SL

- Scope Model : CF-H260DL HD colonoscope 

- Scope Model : GIF- H260 HD gastroscope 

Key Technical Features:

- Imaging Quality: High-definition video output with advanced image processing (noise reduction, color enhancement) for optimised visualisation of mucosal structures.

- Narrow Band Imaging (NBI): Built-in NBI capability, which enhances the visibility of capillary patterns and mucosal surface structures.

- Dual Focus Function: Allows for switching between two focus modes—"near" and "normal"—to provide detailed views of mucosal surface structures or wider areas at the press of a button.

- Pre-Freeze Function: Automatically selects the sharpest image of a tissue section once the user freezes the image, ensuring better image capture.

- Component Compatibility: Primarily designed for compatibility with the Lucera 260 series scopes (e.g., GIF-H260 gastroscope, CF-H260DL colonoscope).

- Output Options: Features Y/C, RGB, and NTSC output capabilities.

- Dimensions & Weight: ~382 (W) x 78 (H) x 504 (D) mm, weighing approximately 9.4 kg. 

Common Tower Setup (System Components):

A complete, used 260SL endoscopy tower system generally includes:

- Processor: CV-260SL

- Light Source: CLV-260SL (Xenon)

- Monitor: OEV191H or OEV262H LCD monitor

- Scopes: Compatible with GIF-H260/CF-H260DL

- Accessories: Pigtail (MAJ-1154), Keyboard (MAJ-1535), and sometimes DVD-RAM recorders (EICP-D) 

AI and Advanced Diagnostic Support 

While the CV-260SL predates the newest AI-powered platforms (like EVIS X1 or ENDO-AID), the 260SL system is designed to provide high-quality imagery that serves as a foundation for advanced diagnostics, supporting clinicians with detailed imaging for early disease detection. 

The Olympus CF-H260DL is a high-definition (HD) long video colonoscope designed for comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in the lower gastrointestinal tract. It is part of the EVIS LUCERA SPECTRUM series, providing advanced imaging for enhanced visualisation of mucosal textures. 

Technical Specifications:

- Imaging: High-Definition TV (HDTV) with Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) capabilities.

- Field of View: 140°.

- Depth of Field: 5–100 mm.

- Working Length: 1680 mm (168 cm).

- Insertion Tube Diameter: 13.2 mm.

- Instrument Channel: 3.7 mm.

- Angulation Range: Up 180°, Down 180°, Right 160°, Left 160°.

- Compatibility: Designed for use with the CV-260SL processor and CLV-260SL light source. 

Key Features & Advantages:

- Enhanced Visualisation: Combines HDTV with NBI to improve detection of vascular patterns and early-stage mucosal abnormalities.

- Variable Stiffness: Enables adjustment of the insertion tube’s rigidity to adapt to the patient's anatomy, aiding insertion and decreasing patient discomfort.

- ScopeGuide Technology: Features integrated position detection technology to visualise the real-time position of the scope within the colon.

- High-Volume Capacity: A 3.7 mm channel allows for smooth, versatile use of therapeutic instruments for polypectomy, biopsy, and hemostasis.

- Design for Ease of Use: Ergonomic control body, wide-angle viewing, and a 168 cm working length make it suitable for deep colonic examination and difficult cases. 

Why Choose OLYMPUS CV-260SL Endoscopy Tower?

The Olympus Evis Lucera CV-260SL is a high-performance, professional-grade endoscopic video processor, often used as the central component in a complete endoscopy tower for gastroenterology (gastroscope and colonoscope) diagnostics and treatment. It is frequently paired with the CLV-260SL xenon light source and produces, at the time of its release, high-definition imaging designed to enhance mucosal visualisation. 

The GIF-H260 supports improved detection of small lesions through high-precision imaging. While newer Olympus series (e.g., EVIS X1) feature native "AI-assisted detection" (such as EndoBRAIN), the GIF-H260’s primary strength lies in its "high-Definition" capabilities that provide superior image clarity. It is widely used for routine diagnosis and therapeutic maneuvers within the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum.  The CF-H260DL HD colonoscope is designed to provide exceptional image clarity and detail, improving visibility during colonoscopies. The GIF-H260 HD gastroscope offers similar high-definition imaging capabilities for gastroscopic procedures. Both scopes are engineered for flexibility and ease of handling, enhancing user comfort and patient care.
