The Solar Compact is intended to record, store, view, and analyze pressure, impedance, and EMG data, gathered from anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract (pharynx, esophagus, stomach, and anorectal area, including rectum and pelvic floor) to assist in the diagnosis and evaluation of gastrointestinal and swallowing disorders. Designated catheters and accessories are required for measurement in each specific area of the gastrointestinal tract. An optional perfusion pump can also be used for automated balloon filling (for anorectal manometry studies). The filling lumen of the catheter can be connected to the perfusion pump. The Solar Compact is indicated for use in adult to infants with common gastrointestinal conditions, for the monitoring and diagnosis of motility disorders of the GI tract.

The Solar Compact is a medical device for measuring gastrointestinal motility characteristics. The system consists of an electromechanical hardware device which connects to pressure catheters (air-charged or solid-state), and a PC software. Catheters provide measurements of pressure and impedance to the device from various sites along the gastrointestinal tract, which are then displayed and analyzed by the Laborie PC software. This provides the clinician with data that may aid in the diagnosis or management of various gastrointestinal disorders. Additionally, the system connects to provide EMG measurements of the muscles along the pelvic floor. Devices such as pressure catheters and surface electrodes are required to complete a gastrointestinal motility investigation, but they are not considered part of the Solar Compact device and not included standard with the system. The device hardware consists of an external housing, pneumatics to inflate and deflate rectal balloons, and electronics to readout data from the pressure catheters and to control all other functions of the system. The device connects to a PC via Bluetooth to display measurements within the Laborie software. The Laborie software contains a patient database module, and an analysis module. The software displays measurements from the system as time-tracing based plots, Clouse Countour Plots (High Resolution Manometry), and as 3D plots. Clinicians can analyze the data provided by placing markers and using calculations within the software. The device does not provide an independent diagnosis. The Solar Compact device is compatible with a number of of catheters for these aforementioned parameter measurements. For a full list of these compatible catheters please consult the instructions for use.

For evaluation of colonic transit in adult and pediatic patients (at least 2 years old) with chronic constipation and used to aid in differentiating slow and normal transit constipation.

The device is intended to be used for evaluation of colonic transit time in patients with chronic constipation and used to aid in differentiating slow and normal transit constipation in adults and pediatric patients (at least 2 years old). Ten (10) radiopaque markers per day are swallowed for six consecutive days. On day seven an abdominal radiograph is taken. Based on the number of retained markers and the position in colonic transit time is calculated and compared to reference values. Both total transit and segmental transit dysfunction in the colon can be evaluated with the device. By dividing the particle dose on day six by taking five (5) markers in the morning and five (5) markers in the evening, the whole range of transit times (slow, normal, rapid) transit can be measured from the radiograph. The device is a convenience package of radiopaque markers (22% Barium Sulphate, 78% Elastosil® R 401/60 Silicone rubber) placed in vegetarian capsules from cellulose (HPMC, Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose), intended for single patient use. The dimension of the markers is 2x4.5mm (ring-formed markers) and 6x2mm (tube-formed markers). The capsules are packed in a blister pack is placed inside a folding box.

IntraMarX 3D Radiopaque Markers is a diagnostic test indicated for assisting in the evaluation of colonic motility in patients with severe constipation, as diagnosed by a healthcare professional, but otherwise negative GI evaluations. For use in adult, IntraMarX 3D Radiopaque Markers is dispensed only by physicians to patients for oral intake.

The IntraMarX 3D Radiopaque Markers can be used for the diagnosis of many Gl conditions, including chronic constipation, colonic inertia, hypomotility and outlet delay. Each of the IntraMarX 3D capsules contains 24 tiny radiopaque rings within the capsule is swallowed by the patient under the direction of physician. As this capsule moves through the digestive system, the capsule shell will dissolve and leave the rings in the GI tract of the patient; which will show up later during an x-ray scan. Five days after swallowing the capsule, a single x-ray scan of the abdomen will be taken to see the location of the rings and how many are left in the Gl tract of the patient. The physician will make evaluations based on the rings remaining and make a diagnosis of GI conditions of the patient.

The High Resolution Impedance Manometry (HRiM) Probe is intended for use by gastroenterologists, surgeons, and medically trained personnel for gastrointestinal tract studies to obtain a high resolution mapping of peristaltic activity or pressure within the organs of the gastrointestinal tract, and to allow storage of the corresponding data. The device is used in conjunction with a manometry system. Studies performed with this system require a skilled interpretation by a physician to aid in making a diagnosis of gastrointestinal motility disorders. The device is indicated for use on adult populations only.

The Diversatek Healthcare High Resolution Impedance Manometry (HRiM) Probe is a flexible polyurethane tube with a series of pressure and impedance sensors evenly spaced along the distal section of the device, an atraumatic tip, and a proximal end electrical connector/handle with an internal signal processor. This probe is used in conjunction with the Sandhill Scientific Gastrointestinal Motility System (K012232). This motility system consists of a Central Unit, an Interface Cable. Software, and a system cart to organize and hold the system components and computer. The Central Unit receives and conditions electrical signals from the probe to display manometric information through the software. The predicate probe from Unisensor currently uses this same Sandhill Scientific Gastrointestinal Motility (Manometry) system. The overall system provides information to trained clinicians as an aid in documenting and diagnosing digestive motility disorders. The probe is the primary patient measurement device during a gastrointestinal tract motility study. The HRiM Probe pressure transducers produce electrical signals that vary in direct proportion to the maqnitude of the applied pressure from muscular contractions (peristalsis) within the qastrointestinal tract. The pressure sensor elements are semiconductor strain gauge devices that convert the applied external forces to proportional electrical signals. These pressure sensors each have a unique digital address controlled by the internal signal processor in the proximal end connector/handle of the probe. The probe uses a time multiplexor that generates the address of the pressure sensor to activate, sends that request to the sensor, and then reads the results. Pressure during a motility study is used to assess GI tract clearance via peristalsis. In addition to pressure sensors for monitoring peristalsis, the probe also contains impedance sensors to provide data to assess bolus transit dynamics. The impedance sensor data is used to detect the direction and transition time of the fluid or food bolus in the GI tract by making use of their natural conductivity. These sensors are made from stainless steel and are designed to show relative impedance changes between GI tract baseline impedance and the impedance seen when a fluid/bolus passes the sensors. Using pressure (manometry) and impedance together clarifies which patients with manometric abnormalities may have GI tract function disorders.
