About this study

To assess the efficacy of the NaviAid™ BGE Device, while used in conjunction with a standard endoscope for the diagnosis and treatment of the small intestine.

Read the detailed description

Smart Medical Systems has developed the NaviAid™ Balloon Guided Endoscopy (BGE) Device, an innovative medical device for the GI tract diagnosis and treatment. The Balloon Guided Endoscopy (BGE) is a procedure intended for the examination of the small intestine, which utilizes the NaviAid™ BGE Device in conjunction with a standard endoscope.

The objectives of this prospective controlled study are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of using the NaviAid™ BGE device in the examination of the small intestine in conjunction with a standard endoscope.

Efficacy will be assessed by comparing NaviAid™ BGE Device performances to a reference Enteroscopy procedure.
