KPJ Johor Specialist Hospital, a premier medical facility known for its dedication to quality, is pleased to present its newest feature: an advanced endoscopy suite that will transform patient care and diagnostic possibilities. This facility, which employs highly qualified medical professionals and has the newest equipment, is poised to raise the bar for endoscopic procedures.
Which technologies are included in this new endoscopy suite?
EUS Ultrasound – High-End Model Arietta 850
With its combination of industry-leading service and support and a deeper level of information, the ALOKA ARIETTA 850 premium ultrasound processor enables endoscopists to make informed decisions.
The ARIETTA 850’s new OLED monitor and eFocusing technology improve the ultrasonography image, making more detailed observation possible.
ADVANTAGE PLUS Pass-Thru Reprocessor
Derived from the ADVANTAGE PLUS Reprocessor platform, the ADVANTAGE PLUS Pass-Thru Reprocessor meets the strictest standards set by endoscopy units across the globe. Reprocessing four to five scopes in just over an hour is made possible by its pass-through capability and integrated smart technology. This enables quick, asynchronous reprocessing using touch-free operation and less scope handling. It is also the 1st unit among the hospitals in the KPJ group.
Olympus Exera X1 camera system
With the introduction of novel and user-friendly technologies, EVIS X1 seeks to facilitate the accurate screening and confident diagnosis of gastrointestinal disorders by supporting their diagnosis and treatment. There are two units in KPJ Johor Specialist Hospital. Among the features are:
Extended Depth of Field (EDOF): EDOF creates a flawless image by fusing two photos taken at various focus distances, which facilitates diagnosis and assured decision-making. It provides smooth magnification and constant wide focus to provide excellent observation.
Dichromatic Imaging (RDI): The problem of gastrointestinal bleeding is severe and can result in high mortality and expensive treatment. By improving the visibility of deep blood vessels and GI bleeding sources, RDI aids in identifying blood vessels that may need emergency care. It uses wavelengths in green, amber, and red to see deep blood vessels. Hemostasis can be achieved more quickly and easily with easier bleeding spot identification, which may also increase the effectiveness of any related treatments.
Texture and Color Enhancement Imaging (TXI): TXI helps to clarify subtle tissue differences by enhancing texture, brightness, and colour, which improves the visibility of both potential and existing lesions. TXI seeks to enhance qualitative diagnosis and contribute to increased detection rates by facilitating improved visibility of both existing and prospective lesions.   Â
Narrow Band Imaging (NBI): NBI is a well-researched optical technology that produces a sharp contrast between surrounding mucosa and vessels to enable a high-confidence optical diagnosis. NBI enhances qualitative diagnosis by supporting early lesion detection and by offering a more intricate, highly contrasted visualisation.
Pendant system for endoscopy
Multiple layer trays are included in the endoscopic pendant to accommodate the endoscopist’s equipment. The system has no trailing connecting cables or floor-mounted obstacles, and it can be oriented to fit any procedure.
High service capacity, flexibility, and maneuverability are a few advantages and features. In addition, it has a compact service console, electromagnetic brakes, coloured LED markers, a long reach, and a high loading capacity. The endoscopy suite at KPJ Johor Specialist Hospital is the first in Malaysia to utilise a pendant system.
Conclusion
The new advanced endoscopy suite at KPJ Johor Specialist Hospital has state-of-the-art equipment and the latest technologies. This offering will provide new diagnostic opportunities for doctors and their patients, providing a more seamless treatment experience.
