The next Generation 3D Navigation System

SCOPEPILOT: 3D Colon Navigation System

PENTAX Medical SCOPEPILOT™ Navigation Control Unit is the next generation Navigation system technology by PENTAX Medical designed to provide a true 3D live representation of the colonoscope shape and position inside the patient's bowel tract.

Features

Navigation is Difficult in Colonoscopy

Cecal intubation is the critical first part of a successful colonoscopy.
But there are three major issues making navigation to the cecum complicated:

1. Orientation

Knowing the endoscope’s location and direction within the colon is crucial.

2. Looping

Loop formation can be painful for non-sedated patients and time-consuming for clinicians.

3. Transmission

Especially, when loops are formed, push and torque transmission to the endoscope tip are impaired.

Advanced Orientation

SCOPEPILOT features different functions to provide the highest quality standards in colonoscopy and training.

  • Image rotation: On horizontal and vertical axis for an improved differentiation of the insertion tube.

  • Split screen: Allows simultaneous viewing of the anterior and superior positions.

  • Zoom‑in and zoom-out: Functionality for improved loops evaluation.

  • External position sensor (EPS): Helps to correctly apply abdominal pressure to support the intubation.

Easy Setup

SCOPEPILOT has advanced features for an easy setup procedure:

  • Sensors are integrated
    in the colonoscope, keeping the working channel free for the advanced therapeutic procedures.

  • No need for a dedicated monitor

  • which makes setting up the system simple and quick and also minimizes the need for extra equipment in the procedure.

  • Can be activated remotely
    from the panel or remote control anytime during the procedure

Integration

Colonoscopes for Advanced Imaging

The SCOPEPILOT EC38-i10N+ Video Colonoscope is part of the PENTAX Medical HD+ Series.

The i10 colonoscopes include next-generation megapixel CCDs for a crisp, clear, and bright HD image and together with Close Focus, allows for a detailed examination of the mucosa up to 2 mm.

The EC38-i10N+ video colonoscope series has been equipped with a new air/water nozzle design that accommodates 47% more water volume.

Video Endoscopes

i10c Series

  • State of the art imaging

  • Large working channel

  • Easy, light-weight endoscope connection

Endoscopes for Improved Handling

Colonoscopy requires a high degree of skill and precision – not just from the professionals performing the procedure, but also from the devices they use.

PENTAX Medical insertion tube is designed to provide the perfect balance between flexibility and torque response through its proprietary i‑FLEXand TrueTorque technologies.
