FDA has cleared a GI View Ltd. 510(k) for its new Aer-O-Scope Colonoscope System, a disposable, self-propelled, joystick-controlled, colonoscope that features therapeutic access. “The new system has two working channels that enable therapeutic access using standard tools, such as snares and forceps, to take biopsies or perform polypectomies,” the company says.

The disposable device is intended to provide a 360° omni-directional visualization of the colon to detect polyps behind folds. It uses a soft multi-lumen tube designed to significantly reduce pressure on the colon wall. It is also hydrophilic, which reduces the friction between bowel and scope by more than 90%.
