Humidifier/Dryer Series
 Perma Pure, Toms River, NJ, introduces the ME-Series moisture exchangers for breath sample dryers, filters, and sample lines. The ME-Series uses proprietary Nafion technology to dry or humidify medical gas and breath sample streams without altering gas composition and with no utility requirements. In either drying or humidifying applications, the ME-Series products seek equilibrium with room humidity, transferring water vapor into or out of the tubing. The antibacterial Nafion membrane tubing does not require power input for operation, and there are no moving parts to fail. (732) 244-0010; www.permapure.com.

Bronchoscopes
 Olympus America, Center Valley, PA, offers the 180 series of bronchoscopes, which feature Olympus’ proprietary Narrow Band Imaging™ (NBI), exceptional optics, slimmer designs, and easier handling.

It works by altering white light to specific wavelength bands, which take advantage of the scattering and absorption properties of human tissues. The BF-Q180 delivers improved image quality and greatly enlarged image size in comparison to conventional bronchoscopes, yet the scope’s distal end measures just 5.5 mm and its insertion tube a thin 5.1 mm. The BF-P180 delivers a slim design and excellent image quality for routine examinations and treatment. The BF-1T180 features a 6.0 mm insertion tube and a wide 3.0 mm diameter working channel, which can accommodate a wide variety of endotherapy accessories. (800) 848-9024; www.olympus.com.
