OLYMPUS VIDEOSCOPE SYSTEM
Today there is no question about the benefits of endoscopy. The only question is how to make those benefits
available to more of the physicians and patients who need them.
Now, with ACTERA videoscope system, Olympus has found the answer. Whether it is routine upper or
lower gastrointestinal endoscopy, bronchoscopy, or more specialized procedures, ACTERA offers a simple,
all-in-one solution that integrates a video processor and light source in a single, cost-effective unit that can be
connected to a wide range of endoscopes and delivers outstanding image quality and superior functionality.

Improved quality both in imaging and product performance
helps ensure more reliable diagnosis.
Simple, convenient functions optimized to
support efficient diagnosis.
Compatibility with upper and lower GI scopes as well as
bronchoscopes ensures applicability in a broader range of cases.
ACTERA, a combination of the words "active" and "era", symbolizes endoscopy's new era of active growth and expansion.

Outstanding Quality
From its image performance to its technical specifications, the quality of
ACTERA has been improved in every aspect. This in turn enhances reliability
and allows doctors to be confident in the accuracy of their diagnosis.
Olympus-signature “Q” image quality for subtle observation.
The GIF-Q150 gastrointestinal videoscope Upper gastrointestinal tract
and the CF-Q150L/I colonovideoscope
built-in the sate-of-the-art CCD help to
depict subtle texture and alterations in
mucosal and capillary structures. A clear
large image size makes them easier to view.
The outer diameter of the GIF-Q150 and the
CF-Q150L/I has been achieved at 9.2mm
and 12.8mm respectively both at the distal
end and insertion tube, while still providing Lower gastrointestinal tract
high-resolution image quality.
Structure enhancement for sharper and more detailed images
ACTERA features a powerful structure
enhancement mode that electronically
increases the sharpness of the endoscopic
image while minimizing noise. The structure
enhancement highlights subtle tissue
textures and slight color changes on the
mucosa. Enhancement levels are user-
selectable from 8 levels. Structure Enhancement Level 1 Structure Enhancement Level 3
Electronic magnification for close-up observation
ACTERA’s built-in electronic magnification
system features advanced enhancement
processing that allows enlargement of the
images to 1.2X or 1.5X. Zoom into the area of
interest at the touch of a button on the

Digital image transfer
To meet the need for image storage Suitable for Digital Image Management
and archiving in digital format, ACTERA
features a built-in DV interface (IEEE DV/DVCAM type VTR

Automatic white balance
White balance setting is stored on a memory chip in each ACTERA scope. The stored data is
automatically transferred to the video processor when the scope is connected. This automatic
white balance function realizes necessary white balance
adjustments without repetitive manual setting.

Convenient Compatibility
In addition to upper and lower gastrointestinal scopes, ACTERA is also fully
compatible with bronchoscopes, enabling your endoscopy suite to double as
a pulmonary lab.
Versatile in various clinical applications for maximum efficiency
Thanks to its compatibility with a wide variety of endoscopes, a single ACTERA system can be
used for different applications in different organ systems - from the gastrointestinal tract to
the tracheobronchial tree.
Bronchus
The BF-P150 is suited for routine
bronchoscopy with its smooth
insertion ability, and the BF-1T150 is
designed for treatment
in the bronchi.
Upper GI tract
The GIF-Q150 is optimized
for gastrointestinal
examination and treatment.
Lower GI tract
The high-performance CF-Q150L/I
is ideal for examination and
treatment of the colon.
