Function
ATMOS
endoscopes are indicated for the visualization of orifices and body
®
cavities. Depending on the cross-section, length and locking possibilities,
each of the endoscopes is designed for a specific purpose in a particular
field of medicine.
The natural orifices are illuminated via extremely thin fibreglass fibres
which are thinner than human hair. With the aid of a camera an image can
be transferred from the orifice to the screen or display via a substantially
larger amount of similar fibreglass fibres.

Intended users
Endoscopic procedures may only be carried out by qualified professionals
(e.g. doctors) with corresponding training and familiarity with endoscopic
procedures. In that regard it is the responsibility of the user to
continuously inform himself from the manufacturer regarding indication,
contraindication, possible complications and risks as well as further
developments in the endoscopic procedures.
A thorough understanding of the principles and methods used in laser
endoscopy and electro-surgical procedures is necessary to avoid shock and
risk of burns to patients and users as well as damage to other equipment
and instruments.
The application of the ATMOS
fibre endoscope is contraindicated if endoscopic
procedures are contraindicated.
