When pasta causes problems.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Swallowing is one of the most natural processes of everyday life. However, if food or liquid can no longer be swallowed undisturbed, an accurate diagnostic assessment is important. The fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing, or FEES for short, enables an endoscopic examination and supports the professional assessment of swallowing disorders. <\/p>\n

For this application, orlvision offers various video rhino-laryngoscopes as well as pre-configured FEES complete solutions. The focus is on direct image display, digital documentation, and a system configuration tailored to the respective application. <\/p>\n

FEES: Swallowing Diagnostics with Direct Image Display<\/strong><\/p>\n

During a FEES examination, a flexible endoscope is used to endoscopically view the relevant anatomical structures. Clear image display is an essential basis for diagnostic work. <\/p>\n

The orlvision RSX series is designed for endoscopic examinations in ENT diagnostics and for FEES. The different models vary, among other things, in their design and probe diameter. This provides different solutions for various requirements. <\/p>\n

The direct USB connection of the RSX systems allows connection to suitable medical tablets or PCs. This way, the captured image data can be displayed immediately and used for digital documentation. <\/p>\n

Video Endoscopy for FEES Examination<\/strong><\/p>\n

An example of this concept is the RSX-USB video rhino-laryngoscope. The endoscope has a diameter of 3.9 mm, integrated LED illumination, and a direct USB connection. The product page explicitly describes the connection to medical tablets and PCs as Plug & Play, without a separate camera unit. <\/p>\n

Digital image transmission enables immediate display of the examination. Images and videos can be captured during endoscopy using the existing recording button. This allows the endoscope to be integrated into a digital examination and documentation workflow. <\/p>\n

FEES with High-Resolution Imaging<\/strong><\/p>\n

For applications where high-resolution image display is paramount, orlvision offers the RSX-HD.<\/p>\n

The video rhino-laryngoscope features a probe diameter of 3.9 mm and an HD camera. The product page explicitly names FEES as one of the intended application areas. Additionally, the RSX-HD has integrated LED illumination and a USB connection for integration into existing workstations. <\/p>\n

The RSX-HD is therefore not only interesting as a single video endoscope. It can also be part of a more comprehensive FEES solution, where the endoscope, tablet, mount, trolley, and software are coordinated. <\/p>\n

Slim Solution for Pediatric and Sensitive Applications<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even in FEES diagnostics, different requirements for the probe diameter may exist. The RSX-P was specially developed for pediatric and sensitive applications and features a particularly slim probe diameter of 2.9 mm. Direct USB image transmission also enables connection to medical tablets or PCs here. <\/p>\n

Thus, the RSX series offers various options for adapting the technical equipment to the respective application.<\/p>\n

FEES as a Complete Solution: Endoscope, Tablet, and Trolley<\/strong><\/p>\n

For those who do not want to assemble individual components for FEES swallowing diagnostics, orlvision offers pre-configured complete solutions.<\/p>\n

The FEES Basic<\/a> is designed as an entry-level configuration for FEES and endoscopic examinations in the ENT area. The bundle includes the RSX-USB with a 3.9 mm diameter, a medical 10.1-inch rugged tablet DT302MD, a VESA mount, and the System Trolley Basic. The system is complemented by FEESer and ORLView for FEES or for viewing and documenting endoscopy images and videos. <\/p>\n

Thus, the central components for a mobile FEES workstation are already assembled as a coordinated system. According to orlvision, FEES Basic is aimed at ENT doctors and speech therapists, as well as clinics and practices that require a mobile and compact endoscopy solution. <\/p>\n

FEES Klinik Max HD for Clinical Use<\/strong><\/p>\n

For clinical use, orlvision offers the FEES Klinik Max HD<\/a>, a comprehensively equipped solution for fiberoptic endoscopic swallowing examination.<\/p>\n

The bundle combines the high-resolution RSX-HD with a medical 15.6-inch tablet, a VESA mount, and the System Trolley Premium. The Media Work Station Classic is intended for FEES analysis. It offers, among other things, real-time analysis, slow-motion playback, frame-by-frame analysis, and detailed documentation of examination results. <\/p>\n

A DICOM extension is also available for integration into clinical workflows. According to orlvision, this supports bidirectional communication with PACS systems and the exchange of image and patient data. <\/p>\n

Thus, the FEES Klinik Max HD goes beyond a single endoscope and forms a comprehensive technical environment for FEES swallowing analysis in the clinical field.<\/p>\n

Digital Documentation of the FEES Examination<\/strong><\/p>\n

A modern FEES solution does not consist solely of the endoscopic examination. Equally relevant is the subsequent viewing and documentation of the acquired image and video data. <\/p>\n

orlvision’s complete solutions therefore combine the respective video rhino-laryngoscope with suitable hardware and software. Depending on the configuration, different options for image display, recording, analysis, and documentation are available. <\/p>\n

Especially with more extensive clinical requirements, technical integration into existing workflows can play an important role. For this, the optional DICOM extension is available with the FEES Klinik Max HD, among other things. <\/p>\n

Mobile or Stationary: FEES to Suit the Workstation<\/strong><\/p>\n

FEES does not have to be implemented identically at every location. orlvision’s complete solutions are configured differently and allow adaptation to various requirements in practices and clinics. <\/p>\n

The FEES Basic has a compact design and combines a 10.1-inch rugged tablet with the RSX-USB and a mobile System Trolley. The FEES Klinik Max HD, on the other hand, relies on a 15.6-inch tablet, the high-resolution RSX-HD, and a Premium Trolley. <\/p>\n

This way, different technical requirements can be taken into account without having to assemble each system from scratch.<\/p>\n

FEES for ENT and Speech Therapy<\/strong><\/p>\n

orlvision’s FEES solutions are aimed at ENT doctors and speech therapists, among others, who perform and document FEES examinations. Clinics and practices are also among the areas of application for the complete solutions mentioned by orlvision. <\/p>\n

The focus is not only on the endoscope. Crucial is the interplay of video endoscope, image display, documentation, and the appropriate workstation configuration. <\/p>\n

When Pasta Causes Problems<\/strong><\/p>\n

When pasta causes problems, it’s not just about the pasta. What happens during swallowing and how these processes can be diagnostically assessed is crucial. <\/p>\n

FEES enables an endoscopic examination of swallowing for this purpose. orlvision combines this application with digital video rhino-laryngoscopes, direct USB connectivity, and various options for image display and documentation. <\/p>\n

From the compact FEES Basic to the comprehensively equipped FEES Klinik Max HD, various complete solutions are available for practices and clinics.<\/p>\n

This transforms a single endoscope into a coordinated technical solution for FEES swallowing diagnostics.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
