Fujifilm Rolls Out EB-710US Ultrasound Bronchoscope

Fujifilm Healthcare Americas has launched the EB-710US ultrasound bronchoscope, a next-gen endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) designed to streamline workflow and enhance imaging performance for pulmonogists.

EB-710US introduces a novel balloon-less design and allows precise tissue apposition, supported by a 180° acute bending angulation, a 6.4 mm distal end, and a 5.9 mm insertion tube for enhanced maneuverability and access. The scope’s balloon-less design helps reduce infection risks associated with the balloon like residual contamination after reprocessing and biofilm formation.

At the core of the bronchoscope is the company’s high performance ultrasound transducer, which was designed for enhanced resolution and deep penetration for a clear, detailed ultrasound image.

Traditional EBUS scopes rely on a balloon at the tip to create consistent contact between the ultrasound probe and the airway wall. The balloon must be carefully attached and checked to ensure there are no air bubbles—even small bubbles can interfere with ultrasound transmission.

Thanks to Fujifilm’s introduction of the new scope in the U.S., now there’s no need to manually attach or position a balloon for the procedure.

“Pulmonologists have long balanced the need for high-quality imaging with the practical challenges of procedure efficiency and reprocessing,” said Tai Fujita, senior VP, Endoscopy Division, FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation. “With our new balloon-less EBUS scope, we’re removing unnecessary complexity while delivering exceptional ultrasound performance and simplifying workflow. Fujifilm’s EB-710US is rooted in listening to our clinician partners and reflects our commitment to advancing pulmonary care through smarter, safer technology. The EB-710US reflects that commitment by addressing key challenges in EBUS procedures—reducing complexity while elevating image quality.”
