commercialization of a miniaturized, self-propelling,
self-navigating, disposable device incorporating a camera with a
unique vision system for the screening colonoscopy market.
G.I .VIEW's colon inspection system is made of two units:
1. A multiuse workstation, which provides the user interface
needed to control the scanning device's motion through the
colon.The work station also receives and processes the
transmitted data from the digital camera attached to the device,
displays it on a monitor and records the data.
2. The Aer-O-Scope is a disposable scanning device, controlled
via a supply and control cable connected to the work station. The
scanning device is made of two main parts:
* A mechanical component which once placed in the rectum propels
and navigates its way through the colon to the cecum with minimal
interference by the workstation operator.
* An optical component that includes front viewing as well as
omni-directional lenses which enable viewing of the entire
colonic mucosa.Illumination is provided by white LED's. The
digital data generated by the optical system is stored in the
work station.The images are then reconstructed to form of a
seamless picture of the entire colonic mucosa.
G.I. VIEW's solution will allow for painless, operator-skill
independent introduction of a viewing system through the entire
colon all the way into the cecum. The company's unique viewing
system may contribute to the sensitivity of colonoscopy, by
identifying polyps hidden behind mucosal folds, which are more
likely to be missed in standard colonoscopy.
G.I. VIEW conducted a feasibility study, which supplied the proof
of concept of the device in humans.
