Product Details
Photodynamic diagnostics as a surgical technique in endourology for the early detection of non-muscle invasive bladder carcinoma (NMIBC) has been in widespread use for many years in order to reduce the risk of progression and relapses in NMIBC. In developing System blue, a refined PDD system that has been thought out down to the finest detail, Richard Wolf is setting a new benchmark in the detection of bladder carcinoma with Hexvix®. System components optimally harmonized with the photo sensitizer achieve a significantly improved tumor fluorescence and can therefore increase the detection rate.

• Smart solution for photodynamic diagnostics (PDD)
• Refined PDD system for early detection of bladder carcinoma
• System components harmonized with Hexvix® for improved tumor fluorescence
• Increases detection rate of non-muscle invasive bladder carcinoma (NMIBC)

Imaging Modes

• White light image: As part of a conventional cystoscopy, early stage bladder carcinomas can easily be overlooked due to their flat growth or their small circumference.
• bluePDD SIM mode: In bluePDD mode, tumorous tissue is displayed in fluorescent red. The rest of the bladder wall appears bright and highly-contrasted, and this permits an outstanding overview.
• bluePDD Color Contrast SIM mode: In blue PDD Color Contrast mode, the tumor fluoresces in vivid magenta.

Absorption Spectra
A comparison between absorption spectra xenon technology and ENDOLIGHT LED blue shows that the emission band of the ENDOLIGHT LED blue LED light source is optimally harmonized with the primary absorption band of Hexvix® (PPIX). The result is a much stronger tumor fluorescence.

Testimonials
Shahrokh F. Shariat, M.D: "From my own experience, I can report that successful treatment results can be increased with every improvement in image quality and hence better detectability of the tumorous tissue. Ultimately, this is a clear plus for the patient."
Dr. med. Michael Straub: "Thanks to the HD image, tumors can be easily differentiated even in white light mode – the different bluePDD modes also permit excellent differentiation and high contrasting. In short, this is a huge improvement over what we have known before."
Dr. med. Gerson Lüdecke: "The great thing about System blue is the strong image illumination: this allows me to work constantly in PDD mode without having to change the optical system, and achieve a complete resection of all tumors with a high degree of clinical safety."
