The Fecobionics Anorectal System is for use on patients requiring anorectal pressure studies and testing of defecatory function. The Fecobionics System must only be used by appropriately trained clinicians. The Fecobionics System enables evaluation of rectal volume and shape, rectoanal inhibitory reflex, anal diameter during defecatory push pressure, and anorectal angle changes. The Fecobionics device is only intended to be used in adult patients.

The Fecobionics Anorectal System (Fecobionics System) is a portable anorectal manometry device for use on patients requiring anorectal pressure studies and evaluation of defecatory function. The Fecobionics System consists of three main components: AR-100 Probe, DH-100 Data Hub, and Fecotracker App (installed on a provided PC-based laptop). The AR-100 Probe is a single-use, non-sterile disposable, battery-powered probe designed to be inserted manually into the rectum and wirelessly transmit data to the external Data Hub, which wirelessly sends the data to the PC with the Fecotracker App. The system provides clinicians with real-time manometric data and geometric mapping information in a single examination. The probe features a balloon designed to be filled with saline by means of a detachable fill tube and a Luer-Lock connection with a syringe. The inflation of the balloon allows the evaluation of sensation thresholds of the lower rectum and assesses and triggers Recto Anal Inhibitory Reflex (RAIR). To mimic the defecation process, the wireless probe is designed to be defecated as an untethered free distensible mass. In total, the Fecobionics System enables the evaluation of rectal sensitivity, rectal volume, and shape, recto anal inhibitory reflex, anal diameter during defecation, defecatory push pressure, and anorectal angle changes. The AR-100 Probe is 10cm long, and its interior bendable core is 10mm in diameter. When inflated with the allowed maximum saline inflation volume (100 mL), the balloon reaches a diameter of up to 5cm.
