A History of Innovation
7th-generation Argon Plasma
Coagulation Probe for Flexible
Endoscopic Intervention
For generations, ERBE has been a leader in
surgical innovation. Every ERBE technology is
based upon key design principles of safety,
reliability and ease of use, resulting in a
product line bred from a legacy of excellence.
An innovation in functional convenience, the
ERBE Filter Integrated Probe for VIO® System
allows for seamless APCTM probe setup, with
no reprocessing or filter change required.
Simple plug-and-play functionality saves valuable
time in instrument setup, and reduces the risk
of cross-contamination during filter change.
• Introduced patented electrosurgical
unit and coagulation procedure
• Numerous patents for argon surgery
systems, instruments and probes
• Many early patented technologies
still in use today
Endoscopic intervention demands absolute
precision from the entire team. And VIO® with
FiAPCTM is the only system designed to simplify
setup so you can focus on delivering the highest
quality of care. That’s ERBE innovation.
It’s as easy as...

“ By using the new ERBE Filter
Integrated Probe (FiAPC™), I have
been able to eliminate the need to
reprocess the hose...after every
procedure. This has been able
to save me time and lessen
the opportunity of crosscontamination. Not to mention,
it is very easy to use——just
plug in, operate, and discard.”

R.N., M.S.N., C.N.S., C.G.R.N., C.N.A., B.C.
Director of Endoscopy Services
Baptist Health, Jacksonville, FL
FROM A VA POINT OF VIEW:
“ ...The new ERBE Filter Integrated
Probe is a GI nurse’s solution to
many problems: no infection control
worries——since it is disposable;
less work——do not reprocess hose;
fewer stocking problem...The VA
policy is to use disposables whenever
possible, and this probe follows
the directive perfectly.”
