How it works
ScopeGuide 3D-Image-Navigation System
ScopeGuide provides a real-time 3D image of the position and configuration of the endoscope inside the colon. Navigation through the colon becomes easier and patients experience less discomfort as loops can be identified more quickly.
How ScopeGuide Works
Electromagnetic coils incorporated along the length of the dedicated scope's insertion tube generate a pulsed low-intensity magnetic field that is picked up by the receiver dish.
The magnetic pulses are used to calculate the precise position and orientation of the insertion tube to generate a three-dimensional image on the monitor.
Challenges in Colonoscopy
Insertion of a flexible scope into a semifixed organ is no straightforward process.
Therefore, loop formation of the scope can occur inside the colon leading to unsuccessful cecum intubation or procedure prolongation.
Also, inaccurate scope movement can increase patient pain and decrease acceptance of colonoscopy.
ScopeGuide addresses these challenges by providing a continuous, real-time image of the scope position during the entire procedure to increase your potential.
Increase Your Potential...
- ScopeGuide supports the improvement of cecal intubation rate, regardless of length of operator experience ¹, ²
- Enables better handling in difficult colon cases, decreasing the need for prolonged colonoscopy
- ScopeGuide may increase confidence in decision-making during and after colonoscopy due to the visualization of scope movement
- Results in less need for intense supervision during colonoscopy, enabling a more effective staff allocation ³
- Enables easier planning and scheduling due to decreased numbers of prolonged colonoscopies
- The amounts of sedative drugs can be reduced with ScopeGuide, contributing to fewer complications and quicker patient recovery ¹, ⁴, ⁵
- Reduces patient pain by enabling operators to make preemptive adjustments of the scope, potentially leading to less patient reluctance towards colonoscopy
