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.
Cecal intubation is the critical first part of a successful colonoscopy.
But there are three major issues making navigation to the cecum complicated:
Knowing the endoscope’s location and direction within the colon is crucial.
Loop formation can be painful for non-sedated patients and time-consuming for clinicians.
Especially, when loops are formed, push and torque transmission to the endoscope tip are impaired.
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.
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
Fabian Straulino, Alexander Genthner, Sibel Kangalli, Natalja Tscherwinski, Axel Eickhoff, Klinikum Hanau, Germany: Straulino F, Genthner A, et al. “SA1943 Coecal intubation time with the 3D navigation system SCOPEPILOT versus standard colonoscopy” Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, Saturday Abstract, Vol. 87, issue 6, Supplement, AB259, June 2018With the 3D navigation system SCOPEPILOT a significant faster intubation of the cecum is possible. An earlier recognition and characterization of looping which results in a more effective solving of the loop seems to be the reason. Especially for beginners and in technical difficult colonoscopies the SCOPEPILOT can be an useful tool and should be considered.
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.
State of the art imaging
Large working channel
Easy, light-weight endoscope connection
Ergonomic control body
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‑FLEX™ and TrueTorque™ technologies.
Graded endoscope flexibility
to ease the maneuverability and help to reduce loopings.
Delivers a higher tactile feel
with the endoscopes, supporting a predictable movement.
Rigidity of the insertion tube can be adjusted for individual patient’s anatomy
