DYSIS with Pseudo-Colour Imaging (PCI) is a digital colposcope designed to image the cervix and lower genital tract under illumination and magnification. Colposcopy is indicated for women with an abnormal Pap smear in order to affirm normality or detect abnormal appearances consistent with neoplasia, often with directed biopsy. The PCI feature is an adjunctive tool for displaying areas of acetowhitening. It is a tool that should NOT be used as a substitute for a thorough colposcopic evaluation. The system consists of 3 components; BASE Assembly, ARM Assembly and Monitor.
An electrically-powered instrument intended to be used for the visual examination and treatment of the female genitalia. It is placed directly at the opening of the vagina which is held open with an inserted speculum during colposcopy. The instrument has a light source and magnifying lenses that allow the physician to view the interior of the vagina, particularly the uterine cervix. This device is used to check for cervical cancer typically after an abnormal Papanicolaou test (PAP) or as a follow up procedure to view an abnormal area seen during an earlier gynaecological examination. During colposcopy, samples of tissue can be taken from the cervix for testing.
