First Live Transmission with the invendoscopy™ System

On May 4th 2007 at an Endoscopy Live Symposium in Berlin (Germany), the first ever live transmission of a screening colonoscopy was performed with the invendoscopy™ System.

The examination was performed by Professor Thomas Rösch (Charite, Berlin University Hospitals) in the Sana Klinikum Lichtenberg (Oskar-Ziethen Hospital) on a 50-year old unsedated patient. The single-use colonoscope, the invendoscope™ SC20, was introduced to an audience of approximately 500 physicians.

During the the live transmission a passage through the colon was shown and the cecum was reached. The unsedated patient did not feel any discomfort during the colonoscopy.

A short video of the live transmission is available in our download section.
