About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Single Center, Single-blinded, Randomized Study, of the Angel of Water™ for Colon Cleansing as Preparation for Colonoscopy

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of the hydrocolonic lavage method in order to prepare the colon prior to performing a colonoscopy, by comparison the hydrotherapy to standard preparation solution.

Hypothesis: Colon cleansing by hydrotherapy is as good as colon cleansing by standard preparation solution.

Read the detailed description

Colonoscopy is the current standard method for evaluation of the colon. It has an indispensable place in the diagnosis and treatment of colon diseases. Diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic safety of colonoscopy depends on the quality of the colonic cleansing or preparation. Good preparation of the bowel is necessary prior to colonoscopy, to allow clear visualization of the bowel wall and any pathology within. The proposed study is a post-marketing study in which the study device, the Angel of Water system will be used for hydrotherapy of the colon in adult subjects scheduled for elective colonoscopy, instead of standard preparation solution. The effectiveness of the hydrotherapy in comparison to the standard preparation will be defined by evaluating colon cleanliness, subject's attitude and the duration of colonoscopy procedure.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Colon Cleanliness during colonoscopy according to Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS)

    The primary study outcome is the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS) score evaluating during colonoscopy. The BBPS is a valid scale for measuring bowel preparation as well as colonoscopy outcomes, as it reflects the colon's cleanliness during the inspection phase of the procedure.

    Measured: Per patient: the end of procedure; For study: approx. 10 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Subject's Attitude: rating the preparation procedure with respect to ease, convenience and comfort

    Each subject will be asked to answer post cleansing questionnaire and a score will be calculated.

    Measured: Per patient: the end of procedure; For study: approx. 10 months
