Study of the Feasibility of Magnetic Navigated Capsule Endoscope in the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract Examination
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating capsule endoscopy for Healthy Patient on Good Condition. Completed, enrolled 10 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
External control of capsule endoscopy (CE) by means of an applied magnetic field is a possible way to maneuver the movement of CE in gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of magnetic maneuvering of a capsule endoscope in the upper gastrointestinal tract, including the esophagus, stomach and duodenum in healthy subjects.

Timeline
Interventions
The magnetic navigated CE would enable detailed investigations of the whole upper gastrointestinal tract, including the esophagus, stomach and duodenum. Using this remote magnetic manipulation, capsule endoscope might improve diagnostic accuracy and extend the examination of specific area of interest in the gastrointestinal tract.
