Olympus COLONNE D'ENDOSCOPIE DIGESTIVE OLYMPUS 290

Olympus 290 Series — Digestive Endoscopy Tower (EVIS LUCERA ELITE)

The Olympus 290 series is part of the EVIS LUCERA ELITE platform, Olympus' endoscopy system launched in Japan starting November 2012. A complete tower configuration typically combines the CV-290 video processor with the CLV-290SL or CLV-290 xenon light source, along with compatible colonoscopes and gastroscopes, a monitor, keyboard, and endoscopy cart — similar in structure to the CV-180 tower system I described earlier, though Olympus doesn't appear to publish one single combined "290 tower" brochure with its own dedicated specs.
