About this study

This multi-center, prospective, single arm study will include up to 100 patients (20-40 patients per site), aimed at evaluating the performance of the Pure-Vu System in cleansing hospitalized patients' colon who are indicated for standard colonoscopy procedure.

Subjects will be enrolled at up to 4 clinical sites in the United States and Europe. Subjects who meet the eligibility criteria will be prescribed a standard bowel preparation bowel preparation regimen including diet restrictions and oral bowel preparation.

Following the bowel preparation, the patient will undergo colonoscopy with the Pure-Vu system.

In case of inadequate bowel preparation, as per the nurse report and / or BBPS < 2, in at least one of the colon segments, prior Pure-Vu use, the physician will complete a questionnaire on the patient's management standard of care assuming the absence of Pure-Vu.

Follow-up will be conducted at 48 hours (± 48 hours) post procedure.

Treatment and study plan

Pure-Vu System

Device

The Pure-Vu System is FDA cleared device and CE marking received in February 2018, intended to connect to standard colonoscopes to help facilitate intra-procedural cleaning of a poorly prepared colon by irrigating or cleaning the colon and evacuating the irrigation fluid (water), feces and other bodily fluids and matter, e.g. blood.

Primary outcomes

  1. The Rate of Adequate Cleansing Level Before and After the Use of the Pure-Vu System

    Time frame: up to 2 hours

    The rate of adequate cleansing level in each colon segment before and after use of Pure-Vu will be evaluated using the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS). Segment score of 0-3 given to each of the 3 segments of the colon (Left side, Transverse and right side) summed for the maximum score of 9 (0= dirtiest and 9= pristine).

    An adequate cleansing procedure will be considered when all the colon segments will be graded as 2 or above.
