Supporting Advanced HPB Endoscopy
Olympus offers a comprehensive EUS portfolio designed to support physicians throughout the evaluation of hepato-pancreatico-biliary conditions from high-resolution ultrasound imaging and pancreaticobiliary evaluation to tissue acquisition in challenging anatomy. Together with education, training, and field-based expertise, Olympus helps clinicians integrate advanced EUS technologies and techniques into clinical practice.
Advancing the Dimensions of Endosonography
Through a partnership with Canon, Olympus brings the future of EUS into full focus with the Aplio i800 EUS. The Aplio i800 EUS is a customizable solution with powerful imaging that provides deep penetration and high-resolution and offers an abundance of advanced, clinically validated tools that allow for a wide range of clinical applications.
Technology highlights:
Differential Tissue Harmonic Imaging (D-THI) supports increased penetration and high resolution in superficial and deep regions compared with other THI methods.1
Attenuation Imaging (ATI) supports the assessment of steatosis by quantifying the attenuation coefficient (AC).1
Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) uses an optimized push pulse to provide a quantitative measurement and dynamic display of tissue stiffness in deeper regions of interest. 1
The Next Level in Ultrasound Endoscopy
The GF-UE190 Radial Array Ultrasound Gastrovideoscope is designed to support efficient EUS observation and diagnosis through improved maneuverability, insertability, and usability.
Technology highlights:
- Increased penetration depth and higher resolution may provide improved ultrasound images compared with the GF-UE160-AL5.2
- Its forward oblique endoscopic view supports pancreaticobiliary exploration and close examination of small lesions.
Precision Sampling when Access Matters Most
Gastroenterologists seek precision and reliability for ultrasound-guided tissue sampling. The SecureFlex™ Fine Needle Biopsy (FNB) Device combines both, making it an ideal biopsy tool.3
Technology highlights:
Nitinol construction³ and a multi-layer sheath provide consistent access without frequent scope adjustments.3
Provides access to difficult-to-reach lesions, including the pancreatic head and uncinate process.3 The Dual-Beveled Raptor™ Tip enables collection of large, intact tissue samples while preserving cellular architecture.3

High output and prolonged exposure to ultrasonic waves can adversely affect the internal tissues of the patient. Scan only for the minimum length of time necessary for the diagnosis, and at the lowest possible output. Improper care, installation, or use, can cause electric shocks, burns or other injuries. The ultrasound endoscope connected to this ultrasound center must never be applied directly to the heart as it could cause ventricular fibrillation or otherwise seriously affect the cardiac function of the patient. Never allow an EndoTherapy accessory or another ultrasound endoscope, applied to or near the heart, to come in contact with the ultrasound endoscope connected to this ultrasound center. Do not use contrast agents when using the shear wave function, as there is a risk of injury to the patient’s tissue, resulting in bleeding, due to the interaction between the acoustic pressure of the ultrasound and the contrast agent. Do not use the shear wave function during puncturing or the interposition of any other type of metal as it may cause problems during the procedure. Contrast imaging and shear wave elastography functions are for GI only.
Disclaimer: The features and functionality described are available with the Aplio i800 EUS. Please refer to the Instructions for Use for echoendoscope compatibility.
Complications from use of the GF-UE190 may include, but are not limited to: patient injury, bleeding, and/or perforation. Improper cleaning of an endoscope may result in patient infection. Balloons used with this instrument contain natural rubber latex that may cause allergic reactions. Do not use the balloon on a latex-sensitive patient.
Complications from extra-luminal EUS guided FNB may include, but are not limited to infection, bleeding, perforation, and/or tumor seeding. Extra-luminal fine needle aspiration of cystic lesions has a higher risk of complication from infection and hemorrhage.
