| Insertion tube, length and channel | FEC-8800: distal tip and insertion tube ≤8.0 mm diameter; biopsy channel ≥2.0 mm; working length ≥1500 mm; total length ≥1800 mm. FEC-8600: ≤6.5 mm; ≥2.0 mm channel; ≥1200 mm working, ≥1500 mm total. FEC-400D: ≤12.8 mm; ≥3.2 mm channel; ≥3000 mm working, ≥3300 mm total. FEC-400A: ≤14.0 mm; ≥6.0 mm channel; ≥5000 mm working, ≥5300 mm total | Tell us the species and body-weight range you scope and whether you need gastroscopy, colonoscopy or both, so we can confirm the tube diameter and working length; check that your biopsy forceps and other instruments fit a 2.0 mm channel. |

| Angulation and optics | FEC-8800: bending up ≥210°, down ≥90°, left/right ≥100°; field of view ≥140°; depth of field 3–100 mm; image sensor ≥1,000,000-pixel CMOS. FEC-8600: up ≥180°, down ≥90°, left/right ≥100°; same field of view, depth of field and CMOS sensor. FEC-400D: up ≥210°, down ≥90°, left/right ≥100°; FEC-400A: up ≥180°, down ≥90°, left/right ≥100°; both ≥140° field of view, 3–100 mm depth of field, ≥480,000-pixel CCD | If retroflexion in the stomach matters to you, compare the 210° up angulation of the FEC-8800 with the 180° of the FEC-8600 before ordering. |

| Image processor and recording | FEC-8800 and FEC-8600: REC-3000 processor with USB picture and video recording and picture playback; full-screen freeze and half-screen mode (frozen large image with live small image); sharpness auto/manual (manual 0–10 levels); gain auto/manual (0–16 gain levels, 0–30 exposure-time levels); brightness, contrast and saturation 0–100 levels; 4 fixed white balance settings, real-time dynamic, manual or one-click white balance; vascular enhancement; 1.2×/1.5×/1.7×/2.0× electronic magnification; 0–6 level bad-point correction; video output HDMI × 2 and DVI. FEC-400D and FEC-400A: 16-image freeze, store and playback; contrast 0–128; colour 0–128; image enhancement 0–30; AVE/PEAK metering; auto/manual white balance; 16 GB SD card recording | Ask which file formats are recorded to USB, and check that your monitor, recorder or capture system accepts HDMI or DVI input. |
|---|
| Light source, air supply and suction | FEC-8800 and FEC-8600: 80 W white LED; colour temperature ≥5300 K; 140,000 lx illumination; lamp brightness 0–10 levels; air pump strong/medium/weak 3-level adjustable; air flow 4–10 L/min; suction device with 1 L vessel and 20 L/min maximum suction. FEC-400D and FEC-400A: LED ≥200,000 lx, 30,000 h life; air supply 4–10 L/min; suction 20 L/min, vessel not less than 1 L | Ask for the suction vessel, valve and seal spares to keep in stock, and the replacement interval for wearing parts. |

| Tower, power and supply | FEC-8800 standard configuration: endoscope; biopsy forceps × 6; cleaning brush; mouth pad × 3; leak detector; leak cover; clean lid; suction valve caps × 2; water bottle seal rings × 6; ear-wash bulb; water injection bottle assembly; endoscope case; REC-3000 processor and light source with air pump and USB disk; suction device; trolley; 24-inch HD LCD monitor, 1920 × 1080. Power 220–240 V, 50–60 Hz. Package size 60 × 30 × 50 cm, gross weight 13 kg. The processor can be shared with same-series video gastroscopes, colonoscopes, bronchoscopes, laryngoscopes, cystoscopes and ureteroscopes | Confirm your mains voltage and plug type (220–240 V is listed), the number of shipping cartons for the full tower, and which other same-series scopes you may add to the REC-3000 later. |
