For another time, Athens Medical Group trusted ENDOSCOPIKI SA for the upgrade of the Pulmonology Department of Athens Medical Center. ENDOSCOPIKI SA undertook the complete equipment upgrade in collaboration with the Interventional Pulmonologist Dr. Anastasios Palamidas.

Endoscopy System

The department was equipped with a complete ELUXEO™ Endoscopy Processor System with the new slim bronchoscope EB-710P by Fujifilm Holdings Corporation. The innovative ELUXEO™ system, awarded with Red Dot Award: Product Design, in combination with the latest endoscope 700 Series, set a new standard in endoscopic imaging.  It offers endoscopists through its excellent image quality and the use of unique BLI & LCI imaging techniques, new data in high definition chromoendoscopy of the gastrointestinal tract and thus helping them to prevent, diagnose and treat

EB-710P Slim Bronchoscope

The innovative new slim bronchoscope EB-710P by Fujifilm Holdings Corporation is equipped with an exceptionally compact CMOS Sensor. This technology means that the tip is a mere 4.1 mm in diameter with a field of view of 120˚. In this way endoscopists can penetrate the periphery of the lung much more easily than with a conventional system. It is compatible with the new generation Endoscope Processors ELUXEO™ and with its One-Step Connector, the bronchoscope can be connected to the light source in a single step. In addition, there is a rotation mechanism that enables 120˚ rotation which allows the user to return the endoscope safely to its original position. Finally, the new control portion is equipped with a wider grip, new suction valve, and four switches, which allows smooth handling.

Ultrasound Processor Mini Probe Radial 360ᵒ SP-900

The Endoscopic Ultrasound Processor Mini Probe Radial 360ᵒ SP-900 by Fujifilm Holdings Corporation is designed with enhanced operability in order to provide a more efficient examination to the Pulmonologists. This small and lightweight system can be used either as stand-alone or as part of an endoscopy system. High resolution ultrasonic images can be obtained through its digital video signal output. Moreover the shorter distal rigid section enables the probe to be inserted more smoothly into the upper lobe bronchus even when the endoscope is bent. Finally, various model with different lengths, diameters or frequencies are available.

Installation

The installation and was carried out by the experience sales team of our company. The test of the innovative system was carried out by the Interventional Pulmonologist Dr. Anastasios Palamidas in a case, for the diagnosis of a peripheral mass in a patient’s left lung, in combination with the 3D Guided Biopsy Conbeam CT system by General Electric. With this upgrade, the Pulmonology Department of Athens Medical Center will be able to offer its patients the most modern technologies of Interventional Pulmonology.
