Medtech company Medtronic has received CE Mark approval for ColonPRO, an AI-assisted colonoscopy software.
The 4th generation software uses deep learning algorithms to provide endoscopists with real-time polyp size estimation, according to a Feb. 23 news release from Medtronic.
The technology also provides endoscopists with automated measurements of metrics including inspection times, cecum detection and bowel cleanliness.
Trials and evidence show that using GI Genius over a standard colonoscopy, adenoma detection rates increase up to 14.4% and reduce adenoma miss rates by about 50%.
The system was first introduced in 2019 and became the first AI system to receive CE Mark and FDA clearance for the detection of colorectal polyps, the release said.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
