ColoAssist vs. MEI

Colonoscopy aims to investigate the entire colon by advancing the colonoscope tip from the rectum to the cecum, a process called cecal intubation. Cecal intubation may be difficult for different reasons, and features of the colonoscope and the use of imaging devices may influence the success rate. We want to compare the performance of a new colonoscope with novel features including gradual stiffness with that of a colonoscope supplied with a magnetic endoscope imaging (MEI) device. The hypothesis is that the performance of the new instrument is non-inferior to the MEI system.
