FI-13RBS: A Cutting-Edge Solution for Intubation and Airway Management
The PENTAX Medical FI-13RBS is a portable fiber optic intubation endoscope designed to meet the most demanding requirements for airway management in medical settings. With its compact design and cordless functionality, this device stands out by providing a practical, fast, and reliable solution in emergency interventions, outpatient departments, or any situation where immediate response is essential.
One of the major strengths of the FI-13RBS is its exceptional user comfort. With a tip angulation of up to 160° upward and 130° downward, it offers optimal maneuverability of the endoscope inside the airway. This flexibility, combined with a tight bending radius and a wide 95° field of view, greatly facilitates orientation and the positioning of the endotracheal tube, even in complex anatomical cases. Moreover, its ergonomically designed, lightweight control body ensures a natural grip and reduces user fatigue during long procedures.
In terms of image quality, the FI-13RBS is equipped with PENTAX Medical’s Superfine Technology. This delivers bright, clear, high-resolution images for extremely precise clinical observations. The depth of field ranges from 3 to 50 mm, providing a clear view of anatomical structures at various distances. For professionals seeking enhanced visual analysis, the FI-13RBS can be upgraded with the PENTAX Medical USB Camera Kit, transforming the system into a complete video imaging platform.
Regarding illumination, PENTAX Medical integrated the LSV (Light Source Versatility) concept, offering remarkable flexibility. Users can choose between three light source options: a battery-powered cordless light module, a module compatible with an AC power adapter, or a direct connection to a conventional light source. This makes the system highly adaptable to the technical and environmental constraints of the medical department in which it is used.
The FI-13RBS also includes the CSV (Closed Suction Valve) system, a sealed suction mechanism that ensures precise and effective aspiration without leakage, contributing to better secretion management during intubation. Fully immersible for disinfection, it offers a high level of hygiene and safety for both patients and healthcare providers.
