The next-generation gastroscopes are designed to support both routine and complex upper GI procedures, with features aimed at improving access, control, and visualization.
Fujifilm Healthcare Americas Corporation, a provider of endoscopic imaging and endosurgical solutions, announced the commercialization of the EG-840T treatment gastroscope and the EG-840TP slim treatment gastroscope.
The gastroscopes are part of Fujifilm’s 800 series portfolio and are powered by Fujifilm’s Eluxeo endoscopic imaging system, which features LED multi-light technology for enhanced visualization. Both gastroscopes will be publicly demonstrated at the 2025 Digestive Disease Week annual conference and exhibition, held May 4-6 in San Diego.
All of Fujifilm’s Eluxeo 800 Series endoscope models, including the EG-840T and EG-840TP, are equipped with intelligent CMOS Image Sensor technology for clear HD white light along with image-enhanced endoscopy modes linked color imaging and blue light imaging. Both imaging modes are designed to offer enhanced visualization and characterization of gastrointestinal lesions.
New EG-840T and EG-840TP Gastroscopes
The Fujifilm EG-840T treatment gastroscope is designed to help expand therapeutic capabilities while also offering versatility for use during routine upper GI procedures. The EG-840T is engineered for stable control in larger lumens and features a 3.2 mm working channel to accommodate a range of therapeutic devices while delivering strong suction performance throughout complex procedures. The scope’s retroflex capability (210° up) and increased downward angulation (160°) are designed to support maneuverability in challenging treatment areas.
The Fujifilm EG-840TP slim treatment gastroscope is designed to support emerging procedural techniques in the treatment of upper GI conditions, especially in narrow lumens when navigating strictures or when tunneling in submucosal space. Featuring a 7.9 mm outer diameter, 3.2 mm working channel, expanded angulation (210° up/160° down), and a water jet, the Fujifilm EG-840TP is designed to expand therapeutic capabilities in upper GI endoscopy while also offering versatility for use in routine procedures.
“E-POEM (esophageal peroral endoscopic myotomy) and Z-POEM (Zenker’s peroral endoscopic myotomy) procedures present unique technical challenges due to the confined working space,” says Kenneth Chang, MD, the James & Pamela Muzzy Executive Medical Director Endowed Chair in GI Cancer at Hoag’s Digestive Health Institute in California, in a release. “The Fujifilm 800 Series slim treatment gastroscope affords greater ease and access in these spaces, while also maintaining high image quality and light modes. When these features combine with its larger working channel and exceptional maneuverability, this gastroscope becomes an important resource for endoscopists.”
Phillip Ge, MD, from the department of gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition at MD Anderson, and Joo Ha Hwang, MD, PhD, professor of medicine and director of gastrointestinal endoscopic surgery at Stanford University, will present a real-world application of the latest 800 Series Gastroscopes at the upcoming Digestive Disease Week conference.
