Given Imaging Ltd. (GIVN)
A colonoscopy is an exam used to detect changes or abnormalities in the large intestine (colon) and rectum.
During a colonoscopy, a long, flexible tube (colonoscope) is inserted into the rectum. A tiny video camera at the tip of the tube allows the doctor to view the inside of the entire colon.
GIVN reported that the FDA has cleared PillCam COLON as a new modality to provide visualization of the colon. It may be used for detection of colon polyps, which is the first step in preventing colorectal cancer, in patients after an incomplete optical colonoscopy with adequate preparation and a complete evaluation of the colon was not technically possible.
GIVN 's PillCam COLON received clearance under the direct de novo classification for devices with low to moderate risk that have no predicate on the market.
GIVN 's PillCam COLON uses a miniaturized camera contained in a disposable capsule that naturally passes through the digestive system, allowing physicians to directly view the entire colon, without sedation or radiation. For patients who have had an incomplete colonoscopy which was not due to poor prep, PillCam COLON can be used to non-invasively complete the colon exam.
Undergoing a complete colon evaluation is extremely important for the detection of polyps, small clumps of cells that form in the lining of the colon that can become cancerous over time.
With a global market opportunity of 3 million procedures annually, GIVN 's PillCam COLON is the only Non-Invasive and Radiation-Free solution for the approximately 750,000 patients in the U.S. who experience an incomplete colonoscopy each year. Patients with incomplete colonoscopies often incur additional costs along with the inconvenience and risk of other procedures to complete the colorectal examination.
GIVN develops, manufactures, and markets diagnostic products for the visualization and detection of gastrointestinal tract disorders
