[Complete colonoscopy with short instruments--results obtained with the ACMI F9S (author's transl)]

Total colonoscopy was performed in 3,740 cases within approximately 4 years. Results show, that total colonoscopy may be used as a primary method of clinical examination in an optimal way, if the technically improved, new class of instruments is used. The new short ACMI F6S is especially suited for this approach, yielding reliable results in about 92% of all patients, if the colon is clean and if there are no organic stenoses present.
