MOTILITY DISORDERS GASTROINTESTINAL and HEPATOLOGY SOLUTIONS

DIAGNOSING MOTILITY DISORDERS

Functional disorders and associated symptoms are among the most diagnosed in outpatient clinics. Over nine million patients experience symptoms of a swallowing disorder annually.1 Symptoms vary from dysphagia to fecal incontinence.2 Over 30 million patients in the U.S. suffer from symptoms of fecal incontinence, gastroparesis, or slow transit constipation.1-4

ENDOFLIP IMPEDANCE PLANIMETRY SYSTEM

Esophageal disease patients can have similar symptoms, but their diseases may be different. This means tests aren't always conclusive and treatment isn't always effective. Up to 50% of endoscopies for predominant esophageal symptoms are negative.6-8

The EndoFlip™ impedance planimetry system:

  • Provides real-time measurements of the pressure and dimensions in the esophagus and other sphincters of the alimentary canal 
  • Enables identification of major motility disorders during the endoscopy through real-time pressure and dimension measurement in the esophagus and other sphincters of the alimentary canal8,9

MANOSCAN HIGH RESOLUTION MANOMETRY SYSTEM

Support early detection of gastrointestinal diseases and functional disorders with a complete portfolio of motility testing products. Our esophageal manometry and anorectal manometry motility testing systems enable you to do full evaluations of GI tract motor function to understand the root cause of GI functional disorders.10-13

The ManoScan™ high resolution manometry system allows for enhanced sensitivity that provides useful information to support diagnosis of conditions like dysphagia, achalasia, and hiatal hernia14-16

SMARTPILL MOTILITY TESTING SYSTEM

The sensor-based capsule allows for GI functional assessment with a single test. SmartPill™ provides valuable diagnostic information, including gastric emptying time, colonic transit time, whole gut transit time, and pressure patterns from the antrum and duodenum.

The SmartPill™ motility testing system:

  • Is the only motility test that provides a complete transit profile of the gastrointestinal tract
  • Has the ability to localize disease to specific regions of the GI tract in the presence of overlapping motility symptoms15
