FDA Cleared! Non-Endoscopic cellular collection Device for Barretts Esophagus & H-Pylori.
About
Product/Services The FDA cleared swallowable screening device is comprised of a medical grade foam ball is compressed into a swallowable capsule which is deployed and withdrawn orally within 5 minutes. Since this device is spherical in shape and will be harvesting cellular samples from the entire length of the esophagus, the resulting specimen has a higher likelihood of capturing the diseased indicator cells than conventional, single site, pinch biopsies. Customer problem With the recent developments in Genome Sequencing, several corporations and medical institutions have developed Biomarker Test Kits to detect diseases of the esophagus without requiring the use of invasive and uncomfortable endoscopic techniques. The problem is that these Biomarker and H-pylori quick test companies do not have efficient non-endoscopic (non-invasive) methods of obtaining cellular specimens from patents.
