2. Brief Description of Supplies

The scope delivers high-definition imaging in a small design along with Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) that is 20% brighter than previous models when used with the CLV-190 processor, enhancing visualization of vessels and other tissues on the mucosal surface. A newly redesigned EvolutionTip incorporates smoother edges and also provides an increased light output of 150% compared to previous models. A variable stiffness shaft improves patient comfort and scope maneuverability, and the scope’s wide 120° field of view and improved deflection helps surgeons to see and treat all areas of the bladder with ease.

Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: Brand Name

Ethylene Oxide (EtO) is being phased out as a means of sterilization. This model of the cystonephroscope can be sterilized using the alternative method of STERRAD and will replace our current scopes that are sterilized with EtO. This model works with the video tower equipment already owned and used in the OR during surgery. The tower is from Olympus, the scopes are proprietary to work with the tower. Another company’s scope won’t communicate with the tower to give the visualization on the screen – in other words, the physicians won’t be able to see whatthey are trying to look at with the scope.
