(EBUS-TBNA): Proven Precision1 in Real Time
With lung cancer being the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide,2 ways to diagnose and treat the disease at its earliest stage is more critical than ever before.
The advanced real-time technology of Olympus EBUS allows more direct, accurate, and efficient sampling, with better access to more nodal stations and smaller size lymph nodes.3 High-resolution and real-time ultrasound imaging enables direct visualization of the EBUS-TBNA needle as it penetrates the lymph node. This facilitates correct capsule-to-capsule technique, which helps to optimize sample collection.
Olympus’ respiratory portfolio can help your team manage the increased demand for more accurate and efficient methods for assessing central and peripheral regions of the lungs.
The American College of Chest Physicians Guideline Recommended Best First Test.4 The next generation of EBUS-TBNA is here.

What You Need Is An Answer: Take Control with SPiN
Transform the standard of care for lung cancer diagnosis and transcend procedural limitations with the SPiN Thoracic Navigation System, which puts definitive results, peace of mind, and early intervention within reach.9
The revolutionary platform is armed with a highly accurate 3D roadmap,6 respiratory gating technology, Always-On Tip Tracked™ instruments, and the flexibility to switch to a percutaneous approach with SPiN Perc™ TTNA Needle in a single procedure. The SPiN System provides precision guidance for percutaneous sampling within the bronchoscopy suite.9
46% OF NODULES MOVE A DISTANCE GREATER THAN THEIR SIZE.7
See how the SPiN System tracks this movement to help you sample at the right time.
The Right Patient. The Right Valve. The Right Outcomes.
The Spiration Valve is the only valve currently on the market approved for two separate indications.10 The Spiration Valve System is an innovative endobronchial therapy that offers patients with severe emphysema a minimally invasive treatment option for lung volume reduction with a favorable risk-benefit profile.8 Patients treated with Spiration valves in clinical trials experienced improvements in breathlessness, lung function, and quality of life.7 The Spiration Valve System is also the only endobronchial valve with approval under Humanitarian Device Exemption for the management of post-surgical prolonged air leaks.11

Complications from bronchoscopy are rare and most often minor, but if they occur, may include breathing difficulty, vocal cord spasm, hoarseness, slight fever, vomiting, dizziness, bronchial spasm, infection, low blood oxygen, bleeding from biopsied site, or an allergic reaction to medications. Only rarely do patients experience other more serious complications (for example, collapsed lung, respiratory failure, heart attack and/or cardiac arrhythmia).
Potential complications which may be associated with bronchoscopy and/or the Spiration™ Valve System may include, but are not limited to, pneumothorax, worsening of COPD symptoms, pneumonia, dyspnea and in rare cases, death. Prior to using the Spiration Valve System, please review the full list of prescriptive information at svs.olympusamerica.com/prescriptive-information for additional information on indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions and potential complications.
Complications from extraluminal ultrasound-guided needle aspiration may include infection, bleeding, perforation and tumor seeding. Extraluminal fine needle aspiration of cystic lesions has a higher risk of complication from infection and bleeding.
Humanitarian Device. Authorized by Federal law for use in the treatment of air leaks. The effectiveness of this device for this use has not been demonstrated.
