EndoChoice | Fuse Generation 2
Two years ago, EndoChoice made a big splash at Digestive Disease Week with Fuse (Full
Spectrum Endoscopy), a flexible GI endoscopy system that employed 3 lenses and 3
monitors to provide us with a wide-angle view and the opportunity to spot what we'd
potentially missed along the sides of our forward-looking images. Now the company's
Generation 2 upgrade makes it possible for us to display that 330-degree view as a sin-
gle integrated image on a 4K, ultra-HD screen. It adds a slimmer scope, whose 11.5 mm
outer diameter insertion tube (down from 12.8 mm) has the same 3.8 mm instrument
channel for no loss of functionality. It delivers more tactile feedback for improved scope
drivability and less looping. EndoChoice turned this upgrade around within 24 months,
which is amazing considering it's typically taken manufacturers 5 to 7 years to roll out a
new scope.
