28 November 2014 - 28 November 2014 -- German endoscopic products and services specialist Pentax Medical said it has launched an advanced ENT videoscope solution called VIVIDEO in the European, Middle Eastern and African (EMEA) markets. According to the firm, the endoscopy system consists of a video processor and video naso-pharyngo-laryngoscope (CP-1000 and VNL9-CP). Pentax claims that its new VIVIDEO solution brings to market a high quality and affordable High-Definition (HD) video naso-pharyngo-laryngoscope, allowing fiber endoscopy users to affordably transition their practice to video endoscopy. This new easy-to-use technology delivers superior performance and image quality to enhance diagnostic yield and improve patient care, the firm said. Due to its HD image quality and enhanced illumination, the VIVIDEO system enables high quality diagnostic examinations in all ENT environments. Its integrated HD video recording will capture and document clinical findings for documentation and comparison. The VIVIDEO solution is designed to contribute to enhanced patient care by providing rapid diagnosis through effective and high quality examinations. This reduces patient uncertainty and ensures earlier treatment if required. Maximum patient comfort is also ensured due to the extremely small diameter insertion tube of just 3mm. Furthermore, its unique insertion tube flexibility and ergonomic, lightweight handle enables smooth and convenient procedures for improved work flow, enabling increased patient throughput and outstanding price-performance. The new VIVIDEO solution was officially launched in Augsburg, Germany, to an exclusive invited audience of ENT physicians from EMEA who are the first to view and experience the new videoscope.
