CENTER VALLEY, Pa., (May 1, 2024) – Olympus, a global medical technology company committed to making people’s lives healthier, safer and more fulfilling, announced today the availability of the new DVM-B2 Digital Video Monitor, an all-in-one video processor and monitor for use with single-use endoscopes for both bronchoscopy and ENT including the H-SteriScope™ Single-use Flexible Bronchoscopes and the E-SteriScope™ Single-use Flexible Rhinolaryngoscopes.¹ The DVM-B2 Digital Video Monitor is manufactured by Hunan Vathin Medical Instruments Co., Ltd., and distributed exclusively by Olympus America, Inc.

The DVM-B2 Digital Video Monitor expands the single-use portfolio, which gives health care providers more choice in the patient care pathway. With the hybrid approach to endoscopy, healthcare providers have flexibility in their endoscopy solutions from one trusted endoscopy solutions partner. Patients benefit from the convenience in terms of expanded sites of care and the availability of on-demand treatment options.

“We are very excited to offer our customers new workflow and productivity solutions with the DVM-B2 Digital Video Monitor,” said Swarna Alcorn, Business Unit Vice President for Respiratory at Olympus America, Inc. “The launch of another product in our single-use portfolio demonstrates our commitment to the hybrid approach, which helps physicians access the right scope, for the right patient, in the right situation.”

The lightweight and portable 12.1-inch monitor allows for ease of care in critical or emergent situations — it can be attached bedside to an IV pole or mounted on a nearby cart. DVM-B2 Digital Video Monitor features also include:

• Portability: The lightweight and compact monitor weighs just 2.14 kg / 4.7 lbs., provides more than 4 hours of battery life, and can be easily transported, mounted, and stored.
• Connectivity: Direct image and video capture can be synced with external devices through HDMI, USB, WiFi or Ethernet options for systems integration.

For use with the E-SteriScope™ Single-use Flexible Rhinolaryngoscopes, the DVM-B2 Digital Video Monitor supports streamlined content management and data sharing platforms such as the Olympus nCare™ recorder and VaultStream™ server. Collaboration among ENT physicians and nurses using these Olympus content management systems allows them to connect with team members while patient data is stored and accessed from one location.
