Overview

3. Maintenance Features

The Olympus ENDO-AID OIP-1 is an endoscopy computer-aided detection (CADe) system designed to assist in colonoscopy procedures by identifying potential lesions such as colonic polyps, malignant neoplasms, and adenomas. This system leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the detection capabilities of endoscopists.

Function Description

The primary function of the ENDO-AID OIP-1 is to provide real-time, AI-driven assistance during colonoscopies. It analyzes endoscopic images and highlights areas that may indicate the presence of lesions. This computer-aided detection is intended to augment the endoscopist's visual assessment, potentially improving the detection rate of various abnormalities. The system operates by processing the live video feed from the endoscope and applying advanced algorithms to identify suspicious regions. When a potential lesion is detected, the system provides visual cues to the user, either by highlighting the corners of the image (Normal Mode) or by placing a marker directly on the lesion within the main image (Target Mode).

The ENDO-AID OIP-1 offers two distinct detection types, Type A and Type B, which differ in their sensitivity and specificity. Type A is designed to detect more potential colorectal polyps, including very small ones, making it suitable for users who prioritize higher sensitivity. Type B, on the other hand, tends to suppress more false detections, offering lower sensitivity but potentially higher specificity for users who prefer fewer alerts. This allows users to select the detection type that best aligns with their clinical preferences and the specific context of the examination.

Usage Features

The ENDO-AID OIP-1 is designed for ease of use and offers several features to customize the user experience:

• Switching the System On/Off: The system is turned on by pressing the power switch, indicated by an illuminated power indicator light. It is recommended to keep the system on for all procedures, even if the CADe functionality is not immediately required.
• Activating/Deactivating CADe: The CADe application can be activated by pressing either the CAD button or the Mode 1 button. To deactivate, the CAD button can be pressed once, or the Mode 1 button can be held for a few seconds.
• Automatic Activation/Deactivation: Users can configure the system to automatically activate the CADe application when a scope is connected and deactivate it when the scope is disconnected. This setting can be accessed through the "Auto ON/OFF" section in the menu settings.
• CAD Indicator Light: A dedicated indicator light shows when the CADe application is active, providing immediate visual feedback to the user.
• Visualization Modes: The system offers two primary visualization modes:
  • Normal Mode: In this mode, potential detections are indicated by flags that highlight the corners of the endoscopic image. Additionally, findings can be shown as markers within a subimage display. This mode is designed to be less distracting, providing a clear endoscopic image while still offering detection cues.
  • Target Mode: In Target Mode, findings are directly surrounded by a marker on the main endoscopic image. This provides immediate and direct feedback on the main image, making detections highly visible.
• Customizable Visualization Parameters: Users can configure various parameters to suit their preferences:
  • Flag Length and Thickness: The visual appearance of flags in Normal Mode can be adjusted.
  • Subimage Position and Size: The location and dimensions of the subimage display can be customized.
  • Marker Thickness: The thickness of markers in both the subimage (Normal Mode) and the main image (Target Mode) can be set.
  • Maximum Number of Markers: Users can specify the maximum number of detection markers displayed, up to 10.
  • Target Mode Duration: The duration for which Target Mode remains active after transitioning to it can be set, including an "unlimited" option for continuous Target Mode operation.
• Remote Switch Control: The ENDO-AID CADe can be controlled via remote switches on compatible CV-1500 user presets. Specific options allow a remote switch to emulate the CAD button (for turning CADe on/off) or the Mode 1 button (for toggling between visualization modes). Using a remote switch for toggling modes is suggested for convenient operation.
• Preferential Target Mode Use (Work-around): For users who prefer to operate predominantly in Target Mode, a work-around is available. Instead of completely switching off the CADe application when temporary interruption is needed, users can toggle back to Normal Mode. To minimize disturbances in Normal Mode, the subimage can be switched off completely, and indicating flags can be configured to be short and thin. This allows for quick transitions back to Target Mode without the need to reactivate the application from scratch.
• Detection Type Selection: Users can choose between Type A (higher sensitivity for more potential polyps) and Type B (lower sensitivity to suppress false detections) based on their clinical needs. This setting is found in the "Detection type" section of the "Marker/flag" menu.

Maintenance Features

While the manual primarily focuses on operational aspects, the ENDO-AID OIP-1 is designed for integration within a broader endoscopy system, implying standard maintenance practices for medical devices. The quick reference guide itself is a summary and emphasizes that users must always refer to the full instructions for use and observe all mandatory information for the product, including labels. This suggests that detailed maintenance procedures, including cleaning, inspection, and calibration, would be outlined in the comprehensive user manual. The system's modular design, with connections to the CV-1500 video processor and various endoscopes, indicates that component-level maintenance and troubleshooting would be part of the overall system upkeep. The mention of "technical modifications or changes of the product design, product specifications, accessories and service offerings" highlights the evolving nature of medical technology and the importance of adhering to manufacturer guidelines for optimal performance and longevity. Regular software updates and hardware checks, as per Olympus's recommendations, would be crucial for maintaining the accuracy and reliability of the AI-driven detection capabilities.
