Olympus Announces U.S. Launch of Newest Imaging Platform for ENT and Urological Applications

3 September 2025

Olympus Corporation, a global medical technology company committed to making people's lives healthier, safer and more fulfilling, announced today the U.S. launch the VISERA™ S OTV-S500 imaging platform, which integrates advanced diagnostic capabilities for ear nose and throat (ENT) and urology applications and offers flexibility for office and outpatient settings.

The VISERA S video system features a built-in light system that allows a clinician to switch between white light, stroboscopy mode available via strobe upgrade and Narrow Band Imaging™ (NBI™) technology at the touch of one button, allowing for enhanced visualization to detect, characterize and treat ENT diseases such as vocal fold polyps and glottic cancer and urological diseases such as non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.

It allows for easy transitions between imaging tools, provides compatibility with a wide range of endoscopes, and offers a compact design to integrate into existing office and outpatient settings.

Enhancing Olympus' commitment to diagnostic and patient-centered innovation, the VISERA S video system was designed for improved image quality when compared to its predecessor, the CV-170.1 Along with a pre-freeze function that allows the platform to capture clear images, the VISERA S video system can also record video.

The VISERA S video system integrates with Olympus' nCare™ medical recorder and VaultStream™ medical content management system platform, allowing physicians to capture clear recordings and generate a comprehensive procedural record that can be accessed and shared from different sites within a medical facility.

"Whether in an office or outpatient setting, physicians are looking for opportunities to combine procedural and cost efficiencies, which is why we are excited to launch the VISERA S imaging platform for ENT and urological applications," said Richard Reynolds, President of the Medical Systems Group at Olympus Corporation of the Americas. "The VISERA S video system may provide cost efficiencies by offering compatibility with a wide range of endoscopes and procedural and workflow efficiencies by combining multiple light systems in one platform and the ability to gather and share patient data from one system."
