EBME Forums Forums Maintenance Technical Assistance Endoscopy equipment

We are in the process of replacing our equipment in our Gastro department. It is currently kitted out with Keymed equipment. Pentax have shown interest as have Endoscopy UK. We do have Pentax equipment in other locations in our Trust, but no Endoscopy UK equipment. Can anybody please provide any feedback on Endoscopy UK equipent.
Thanks.

Scopes OK; Service OK; Back-up OK and cheaper!

Thanks once again for your help.

hı sory how can ı buy endoscopy equipment?can you help me please?

There's always a load of endoscopes and light sources etc. every month at Hilditch.

or simply search on Google, there are a few dealers of used scopes within the UK.

I know it's a bit late in the day, but the Endoscopy gear done by Endoscopy UK (now referred to, as far as this post goes, as EUK) is actually made by FUJINON. It's good stuff, but there is little difference between Fujinon from Keymed/Olympus or Pentax. Our hospital is predominantly Keymed/Olympus, but we've started to introduce Fujinon gear. We trialed a Pentax system, but there was a small, but significant, problem with it. I, and a pal, went on a short course to EUK HQ near Lydney, in Gloucestershire (North side of the Severn). We were treated royally, and the course was good.
Other known Endoscopy makers are STRYKER (or is it SPYKER?) and Smith & Nephew do a system - Dionics?

North side of the Severn? Lydney is in the Forest of Dean!!!
