Olympus Secures FDA Clearance for Most Advanced Imaging Endoscopes
- On May 27, 2025, Olympus disclosed that the FDA had granted regulatory clearance for its EZ1500 line of endoscopes at its Center Valley, Pennsylvania location.
- This clearance comes after Olympus introduced advanced imaging capabilities in its EZ1500 series endoscopes designed to maintain a sharp focus across varying depths, enhancing visualization during gastrointestinal examinations.
- The EZ1500 series includes the GIF-EZ1500 gastroscope and CF-EZ1500DL/I colonoscope, both using EDOF to deliver continuously sharp images with minimal focal adjustment.

- Olympus states that this approval supports its goal to elevate endoscopy standards and help physicians achieve better clinical outcomes in gastrointestinal procedures.
