Lexington, MA, March 11, 2025 – FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation, a leading provider of endoscopic imaging and endosurgical solutions, has announced the commercialization for its EN-840T Double Balloon Enteroscopy (DBE) scope, an endoscopic imaging technology that enables access to the entire small intestine for diagnosis and therapeutic intervention. The EN-840T DBE scope represents a major update to Fujifilm’s pioneering Double Balloon Enteroscopy technology.
“The small intestine is one of the most challenging areas in patient anatomy to access in GI endoscopy,” says Tai Fujita, vice president, Endoscopy Division, FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation. “By continuing to develop and enhance our double balloon enteroscopy technologies, we are empowering endoscopists and GI physicians to unlock access to difficult to reach pathways within the digestive tract, while simultaneously assisting with diagnosis and treatment for a wide array of diseases of the small intestine, including Crohn’s disease, gastrointestinal bleeding, and removal of small bowel polyps, among others.”
The 3.2 mm diameter working channel of the EN-840T DBE Scope suits various procedures requiring hemostasis and balloon dilation, providing greater suction performance than that of conventional models. It also allows for blood or mucus to be aspirated while a therapeutic device is inserted, enabling quicker hemostasis. The large working channel allows for easier insertion and removal of the catheter before and after dilatation of strictures. The scope features a dedicated forward water jet channel for irrigation and to help quickly clear debris like blood and mucus on the mucous membranes for clearer visualization of the bowel wall.

A CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor in the EN-840T DBE scope ensures vivid, HD, high-quality images, providing speed and clarity for diagnosis. The scope also leverages LED multi-light technology along with Fujifilm’s Linked Color Imaging (LCI) ® and Blue Light Imaging (BLI) modes to provide endoscopists with unparalleled visualization and enable optimal detection during small bowel procedures. Fujifilm also pioneered LED Multi-light technology for endoscopic imaging, allowing doctors to easily change the light modes they use and is clinically proven to improve colorectal lesion and adenoma detection rates.1
“This scope is a major step forward for deep enteroscopy,” said Daniel J. Stein,MD, MPH, Brigham and Women’s Hospital. “Improvements in all areas – scope dynamics, optics and irrigation will empower physicians to really push the envelope for deep small bowel diagnostics and therapeutics.”
