The OCHTA cable module connects small 400 × 400-resolution imagers to endoscopes with ultra-thin 0.45-mm cables that are available in 1.5- and 2.5-meter lengths. This is an upgrade from the previous 200 × 200 resolution for improved visibility. The cable module also can be customized up to four meters along with a mini-LED illumination option.

The turnkey solution includes the lens and image signal processor, which reduces cost and accelerates time to market for medical-device OEMs, said the company.

The OCHTA cable modules also feature a six-wire cable that allows manufacturers to add their own LED illumination, said Omnivision. In addition to the customized cable lengths, the company offers customized connectors and LEDs to deliver a fully tested and production-ready solution. Customized options will be available in the third quarter of 2023.

The cables meet EMC/EMI shielding from the patient as per IEC 60601 requirements and are manufactured in ISO 13485-certified facilities.  These cables are designed for endoscopes used in minimally invasive surgery, including neuro, ophthalmic, cardiac, spinal, ob-gyn and utero-renal procedures.
