Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy01:28

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

Capsule endoscopy, or wireless or video capsule endoscopy, is a diagnostic procedure for examining the entire gastrointestinal tract. Patients swallow a capsule about the size of a vitamin tablet. The capsule is equipped with a transmitter, a battery, an LED light source, and a color video camera to capture images throughout the gastrointestinal tract. This procedure is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, tumors, polyps, ulcers, unexplained...
Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP01:26

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy01:25

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy

The colon, or large intestine, is the final segment of the digestive system. Its primary functions include absorbing water and vitamins produced by gut bacteria and transforming waste from liquid to solid to form stool. In adults, the large intestine is approximately 5 feet long and consists of four main sections:
Automated Microbial Diagnostics01:24

Automated Microbial Diagnostics

Automated diagnostic analyzers have transformed clinical microbiology by providing rapid and reliable methods for pathogen identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing. Among these systems, the Vitek 2 is widely used because it automates the traditionally labor-intensive processes of microbial identification (ID) and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST), delivering standardized and timely results that are essential for effective patient care.Microbial Identification with ID CardsThe...

    Area of Science:

    • Gastrointestinal Endoscopy
    • Medical Device Technology Evaluation

    Background:

    • The ASGE Technology Committee reviews endoscopic technologies impacting GI endoscopy practice.
    • Evidence-based methodology is employed, utilizing MEDLINE and MAUDE database searches.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate existing, new, and emerging automated endoscope reprocessor (AER) technologies.
    • To provide a comprehensive review of AERs for the practice of GI endoscopy.

    Main Methods:

    • MEDLINE literature search for clinical studies on endoscope reprocessing, cleaning, AERs, and high-level disinfection.
    • MAUDE database search for reported AER complications.
    • Supplementation with "related articles" feature, cited references, technical data from publications, and vendor communications.

    Main Results:

    • The review focuses on automated endoscope reprocessors (AERs) and their role in endoscope reprocessing.
    • Data sources include controlled clinical trials, case series, preliminary studies, and expert opinions.
    • Financial guidance, including coding data and list prices, may be provided.

    Conclusions:

    • Technology Status Evaluation Reports are educational tools, not legal standards of care.
    • These reports aim to inform about AER technology status in GI endoscopy.
    • The review methodology ensures a thorough assessment of AERs for clinical practice.
