Brief summary

The study is intended to demonstrate substantial equivalence of visualization using BLI to the predicate device, FICE, so as to support the addition of BLI as an adjunct to white light imaging in the company's video processor.

Detailed description

This clinical study will consist of acquisition of images, followed by a reader study.

Interventions

DEVICESingle Endoscopy Procedure

All subjects will have 1 endoscopy procedure, in which they will have a white light examination followed by FICE and BLI imaging on a maximum of two (2) anatomical sites per subject.

Image Quality Scores Using Likert ScaleTwo to three monthsLikert score ratings of image quality for Blue Light Imaging (BLI), Blue Light Imaging-bright (BLI-brt) and Flexible spectral-Imaging Color Enhancement (FICE) images. Each BLI and BLI-Brt setting was compared to FICE, to determine which settings were equivalent to FICE. Likert Score Scale: 1. Not seen; 2. poor but usable, characteristic features are detectable but details are not fully reproduced; features just visible; 3. good; allows an adequate assessment, details of anatomical structures are visible but not necessarily clearly defined; details emerging; 4. very good; allows an excellent assessment, anatomical details are clearly defined; details clear This was a blinded and randomized Reader assessment of all BLI and FICE images.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

Subjects enrolled had been referred to Mayo Clinic for clinically indicated gastrointestinal diagnostic endoscopy between August 19, 2016 and September 7, 2016.

Pre-assignment details

Each subject underwent a complete diagnostic endoscopy examination with white light, followed by an exam with BLI (BLI + BLI-brt) and FICE, at 3 FICE settings (1,2 & 6). Each subject could contribute up to 2 anatomical sites (regions of interest).

Image Quality Scores Using Likert Scale

Likert score ratings of image quality for Blue Light Imaging (BLI), Blue Light Imaging-bright (BLI-brt) and Flexible spectral-Imaging Color Enhancement (FICE) images. Each BLI and BLI-Brt setting was compared to FICE, to determine which settings were equivalent to FICE. Likert Score Scale: 1. Not seen; 2. poor but usable, characteristic features are detectable but details are not fully reproduced; features just visible; 3. good; allows an adequate assessment, details of anatomical structures are visible but not necessarily clearly defined; details emerging; 4. very good; allows an excellent assessment, anatomical details are clearly defined; details clear This was a blinded and randomized Reader assessment of all BLI and FICE images.

Time frame: Two to three months

Population: All patients had imaging done with white light (standard) as well as BLI, BLI-brt, and FICE. Each of the three (3) Readers had a unique set of randomized images which they reviewed independently during the reader study.
