The Olympus VMR-10: a cutting-edge medical video recording tool for connected operating rooms
In an increasingly digitalised operating environment, control of visual information has become a strategic issue. The Olympus VMR-10 medical video recorder is a technological solution that meets today's requirements for documentation, traceability and image quality. Designed for healthcare facilities seeking to optimise their workflows and ensure reliable, secure archiving of surgical procedures, the VMR-10 is an essential component of the ENDOALPHA integrated system.
Designed to capture video from endoscopic systems or any other compatible source in real time, the VMR-10 allows simultaneous recording in standard (SD) or high definition (HDTV) quality thanks to its FireWire and HD-SDI interfaces. The user can easily start recording from a touchscreen interface, a button on the endoscope or a wall-mounted control, offering valuable flexibility in sterile environments. Direct integration with hospital databases, such as PACS, is ensured by DICOM and HL7 standards, enabling automated filing and rapid retrieval of patient-related files.
More than just a recorder, the VMR-10 is a complete multimedia documentation solution. It allows annotation of still images, editing of video sequences and creation of enhanced reports, facilitating the work of the medical team and the sharing of information for training or case reviews. Thanks to its compact design (weighing only 8.6 kg) and rack-mountable format, it can be discreetly installed in any operating theatre or endoscopy room.
Olympus has also focused on the universal compatibility of the VMR-10 with other components of the ENDOALPHA system, enabling unified management of documentation, medical device control and video. This level of integration optimises operational performance and reduces the risk of human error. By centralising critical functions around a single control point, the surgical team gains autonomy, responsiveness and efficiency.
The VMR-10's compliance with electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards (IEC 60601-1-2) ensures safe use even in the most demanding environments. Thanks to its reliability, ease of use and seamless integration into hospital systems, the Olympus VMR-10 is now one of the most comprehensive medical video recorders on the market, delivering high-quality care and clinical accuracy.
