Colonoscopy is the golden standard for colon cancer screening, polyp removal, and control of lower gastrointestinal bleeding. The ability of the patient to hold air or fluid to insufflate the colon is critical to a successful colonoscopy. However, based on surveys completed by gastroenterologists, air or fluid incontinence occurs 20% of the time. This makes it not only difficult for the physician to complete an exam, but it puts the patient’s safety and overall health at risk. The IRD device was designed to improve the colonoscopy experience for patients, physicians, & payors.
