The NaviAid™ ABC device is an accessory to an endoscope and is intended to ensure positioning of a standard endoscope during endoscopy of the small and large intestine (standard endoscope-i.e., an endoscope that has an instrument channel that is at least 3.7mm diameter and is used for standard endoscopic visualization). The NaviAid™ ABC Device is comprised of a balloon catheter (‘ABC Disposable’) which is inserted through theinstrument channel of the endoscope, similarly to other endoscopic accessories, and a supporting single balloonair supply and control unit – NaviAid™ SPARK (‘SPARK’) for providing controlled inflation and deflation of theballoon. The NaviAid™ ABC Device is indicated for use in adults and adolescent population.
A device designed to inflate and regulate the pressure of the balloon of a catheter, endoscopic overtube, or other invasive device (e.g., tamp, endomicroscopy probe), typically by injecting and aspirating fluid or air within the balloon, and to deflate the balloon during a medical procedure. It typically consists of a dedicated manual syringe/plunger or electronic mechanism for inflation/deflation, an analogue or digital gauge/screen for monitoring pressure, a locking mechanism, and a connecting tube. This is a single-use device.
