OF-B190 Inlet Seal: Ensuring Secure Access and Sterility
The OF-B190 Inlet Seal by Pentax is an essential component that ensures accessories can pass securely through the bronchoscope without allowing fluids and air to escape. This feature is crucial for maintaining the sterility of the procedure and preserving the internal environment of the bronchoscope. The OF-B190 is specifically designed for compatibility with the EB-1970UK, Ultrasound Video Bronchoscope by Pentax.
The Pentax Ultrasound Video Bronchoscope is designed to capture images of the observation subject using a solid-state image sensor and an ultrasound transducer located at the endoscope tip. These components function under the light transmitted from the processor/light source, enabling the physician to monitor the target area through both endoscopic and ultrasound images displayed on video monitors.
The endoscopic procedure involves inserting an aspiration needle into the instrument channel inlet on the control body. The bending section can be angulated in the intended direction and angle by operating the Angulation Control Lever. Additionally, air or fluids can be suctioned from the distal end of the endoscope by operating the Suction Control Valve.
The EB-1970UK, Ultrasound Video Bronchoscope, is intended to provide optical visualization, ultrasonic visualization, and therapeutic access to the pulmonary tract. This includes but is not limited to the nasal passage, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchial tree (including access beyond the stem), and underlying areas. The instrument is introduced perorally when procedures are indicated in both adult and pediatric patients.
Constructed from high-quality materials, the OF-B190 Inlet Seal is designed to withstand the rigors of repeated use while maintaining its integrity and performance. It creates a tight seal that prevents any contamination from external sources, ensuring the bronchoscope operates within a controlled and sterile environment. This not only enhances the safety and effectiveness of the procedures but also extends the lifespan of the bronchoscope by protecting its internal components from exposure to fluids and air.
The OF-B190 Inlet Seal is integral to the optimal operation of the Pentax Ultrasound Video Bronchoscope, enabling procedures to be conducted with the highest standards of safety and efficiency. Its robust design and reliable performance make it a vital accessory for healthcare professionals conducting endoscopic procedures.
