Brief summary

The study aims to compare the results between colonoscopies with two different attachments on the distal end of the colonoscope.

Detailed description

This will be a prospective, randomized controlled study. Subjects referred for a screening, surveillance, or diagnostic colonoscopy will be prospectively enrolled. This study aims to compare the number of adenomas detected per colonoscopy (APC) between an Endocuff colonoscopy and an AmplifEYE colonoscopy. It is estimated that the Endocuff Vision will result in an APC of 2.3. The investigators consider that a clinically acceptable ADR for the Medivators device would be within 20% of this value or 1.5.

Interventions

DEVICEEndocuff Vision device

Subjects randomized to undergo a colonoscopy procedure with the Endocuff Vision device will have this device placed on the colonoscope used during their procedure.

DEVICEAmplifEYE device

Subjects randomized to undergo a colonoscopy procedure with the AmplifEYE device will have this device placed on the colonoscope used during their procedure.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Adenomas Detected Per Colonoscopy (APC).During colonoscopy procedureComparison of the number of adenomas detected per colonoscopy between the Endocuff Vision Colonoscopy and the AmplifEYE colonoscopy.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Detection Rates (Adenoma Detection Rate (ADR) and Polyp Detection Rate (PDR))During colonoscopy procedureComparison of the number of participants with at least one adenoma detected (ADR) between AmplifEYE colonoscopy and the Endocuff Vision colonoscopy. Comparison of the number of participants with at least one polyp detected (PDR) between AmplifEYE colonoscopy and the Endocuff Vision colonoscopy.
Complications Encountered During ProcedureDuring Colonoscopy procedureComparison of amount of mucosal trauma (such as scratches), perforation (making a hole in the colon wall), or gastrointestinal bleeding between patients that have AmplifEYE colonoscopy compared to patients that have Endocuff Vision colonoscopy.
Passage of Device Through Sigmoid Colonduring insertion portion of colonoscopyComparison of the number of times the device had to be removed to pass the sigmoid colon between colonoscopies with the AmplifEYE device and colonoscopies with the Endocuff Vision device.
Time Comparison for Each MethodDuring colonoscopy procedureComparison of the insertion time, overall withdrawal time, inspection time, and total procedure time between the AmplifEYE colonoscopy and the Endocuff Vision colonoscopy. Insertion time: time it takes from the colonoscope first being inserted to when the cecum is reached Withdrawal time: time calculated from when withdrawing is started in the cecum until the colonoscope is removed. This includes time spent washing, suctioning, inspecting the colon, and removing polyps. Inspection time: time spent actually examining the colon and does not include time spent for washing the colon, suctioning, and removing polyps. Total procedure time: time from the initial insertion of the colonoscope through the complete withdrawal of the colonoscope.
Cecal Intubation RateDuring Colonoscopy procedureComparison of the number of procedures where the colonoscope was able to reach the cecum between AmplifEYE colonoscopy and Endocuff Vision colonoscopy.
Detection of Serrated LesionsDuring colonoscopy procedureComparison of the number of participants with at least one Sessile Serrated Polyp detected (SSPDR) between AmplifEYE colonoscopy and the Endocuff Vision colonoscopy. Comparison of the number of participants with at least one flat polyp detected between AmplifEYE colonoscopy and the Endocuff Vision colonoscopy.
Polyps Per Colonoscopy (PPC)During colonoscopy procedureComparison of the number of polyps detected per colonoscopy between the Endocuff Vision Colonoscopy and the AmplifEYE colonoscopy.
