The Ancora-SB is a single-use, close-fitting sleeve that slides freely over a currently marketed standard endoscope having an outer diameter of 9.0 – 9.4 mm and a working length of 1680 mm or greater. The device is indicated to ensure complete positioning of an endoscope in the small intestine, by either oral or anal insertion, and assist with optical visualization, diagnosis, and endoscopic treatment. The device is designed to be used with a Balloon Endoscopy System (BES) which includes a multi-channel endoscope, an endoscopy tower (light source, display monitor, recording equipment, etc.) and a balloon inflation unit (equipment that inflates or deflates by a push button control, inflation is to a stated maximum pressure and the pressure is maintained during active use when inflated).
