Casio DZ-C100: an ergonomic and high-performance cervical observation tool for community healthcare
The Casio DZ-C100 is a medical imaging solution designed to effectively support general practitioners in their gynaecological examinations, particularly in the context of cervical observation. Thanks to Casio's expertise in miniaturisation, optics and digital image processing, this device integrates all the features necessary for professional-quality observation in a compact format. This model allows you to view, capture and analyse images of the cervix with remarkable accuracy, while remaining easy to use, making it accessible to as many people as possible.
The DZ-C100 features a unique triple lighting system that captures three different types of images in a single shot: white light for standard observation, green light for better visualisation of blood vessels, and polarised light to reduce surface reflections and better observe epithelial texture. This high-performance system, unique to Casio, ensures perfect consistency between images by maintaining a constant viewing angle between shots. This greatly facilitates comparative analysis and patient monitoring over time.
The device also features an intuitive touchscreen interface with focus adjustment via a simple touch of the tiltable LCD screen. The digital zoom allows areas of interest to be easily enlarged. Recording still images and videos is simplified thanks to on-screen controls, which also allow the focus point to be adjusted in real time. The video option is particularly useful during acetic acid tests, allowing the capillary reaction time to be measured accurately.
The ergonomic design of the DZ-C100 is based on a mobile, compact stand mounted on castors, allowing free positioning and high stability during the examination. The device can be easily rotated thanks to a free-rotating ball joint, adjustable height and a 3-segment articulated arm. All these features contribute to improving user and patient comfort by adapting perfectly to the constraints of the clinical environment.
For efficient clinical data management, Casio also offers free software, D'z IMAGE Viewer C, which automatically sorts files by patient ID, tags images, searches by criteria (name, age, pathology, etc.), and generates printouts for easy sharing with other practitioners. The DZ-C100 can be connected to a computer wirelessly (Wi-Fi direct or via a router) or via a USB/SD cable.
The Casio DZ-C100 is therefore a comprehensive, practical tool that is perfectly suited to the realities of general medical practices. It not only facilitates visual examination of the cervix, but also the documentation and archiving of clinical data, ensuring rigorous follow-up and interprofessional communication. Its versatility and accuracy make it a strategic investment for any medical facility seeking to combine performance and ease of use.
