New Flexible Inspection Scope Visual Instrument Inspections Made Easier
Healthmark Industries Co., Inc. announces the newest addition of the Flexible Inspection Scope to its Prosys Optical Inspection line of products, The FIS-003. The FIS-003 features a longer 110cm flexible shaft with graduation marks. Like other Flexible Inspection Scopes it also includes a distal tip composed of a light source and camera lens at the end of the flexible shaft. Designed for instruments 2.4mm in diameter or larger, inspection is now easier on the interior of instruments with small diameters, including many flexible GI endoscopes. The camera and light are powered by the USB connection on a PC.
Compatible with Windows 7, 8 and 10, the included software allows viewing and recording from most computers. Paired with the optional Flex Arm, the Flexible Inspection Scope can be securely fastened to workstations to free both hands for manipulation of the scope and the target medical device. It is the perfect tool to visually inspect lumened medical devices after cleaning.
