Arms Assigned Interventions
1: Active Comparator
Subjects that are indicated for colonoscopy, who are suspected or known to suffer from large bowel diseases.
Device: Capsule Endoscopy

Detailed Description:

The development and introduction of a specially designed, customized colon capsule combined with a dedicated capsule colonoscopy procedure protocol will allow for more efficient evaluation of the colonic mucosa. This is expected to improve the capability of the Given® Diagnostic System to detect colonic pathologies and to serve as a diagnostic and screening tool for colonic disease. Further details of the PillCam™ Colon Capsule Endoscope (PCCE) can be found in the device description section.

This study is designed to compare capsule colonoscopy and colonoscopy procedures in detecting colon abnormalities.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subject was referred for colonoscopy for one of the following reasons:

    • Subjects over ≥ 50 years of age with one or more of the following clinical symptoms: rectal bleeding, hematochezia, melena, positive FOBT, recent change of bowel habits, or diarrhea/constipation of recent onset.
    • Any subject ≥ 18 years of age with:

      • Positive findings in the colon on a GI radiographic study
      • Personal history of colorectal cancer (CRC) or adenomatous colonic polyps and at least 3 years since last colonoscopy
