Intended Use
The NaviAid™ BGC device is an accessory to an endoscope and is intended to ensure positioning of a standard endoscope during endoscopy of the small and large intestine (standard endoscope-i.e., an endoscope that has an instrument channel that is at least 3.7mm diameter and is used for standard endoscopic visualization).
Device Description
The modified NaviAid™ BGC is an on-demand disposable that is inserted through the instrument channel of the endoscope in order to enable advancement and positioning of a standard endoscope in the small and large intestine. The modified NaviAid™ BGC system comprises a disposable balloon system and an Air Supply Unit ("ASU") or a Single Balloon - Air Supply Unit ("SB ASU") for inflating and deflating the balloon system. The role of the BGC disposable is to facilitate advancement of a standard endoscope into the small and large intestine. The NaviAid™ BGC disposable includes the BGC Balloon and the BGC inflation tube. The balloon is inflated by ambient air. The ASU or SB ASU operate and control the inflation and deflation of the balloon through a foot-pedal. The balloon is connected to a dedicated inflation tube that runs inside the instrument channel of the endoscope, and is connected at its proximal (user) end to the ASU or SB ASU. The BGC balloon can be advanced ahead of the endoscope tip or pulled back through pushing/pulling action on the BGC inflation tube at its proximal side, outside the patient's body. When the BGC balloon is advanced and then inflated, it functions as a distal anchor, to which the endoscope tip is advanced, and the BGC inflation tube serves as a rail that leads the endoscope as it is pushed towards the anchoring BGC balloon. The balloon and tube negligibly compromise the endoscope's flexibility, or its field of view. Additionally, the BGC disposable negligibly compromise the maneuverability of the endoscope's tip and does not limit the usage of any standard endoscopy tools. During the procedure the disposable can be removed from the instrument channel of the endoscope and a therapy tool may be inserted instead. The NaviAid™ BGC disposable is intended for single use, while the ASU and SB ASU are re-usable.
