The PeerScope System consists of Peer Medical camera heads, endoscopes, video system, light source and other ancillary equipment. The system is intended for endoscopic diagnosis, treatment and video observation of the digestive tract. The PeerScope system model B is indicated for use for endoscopy and endoscopic treatment within the lower digestive tract (including the anus, rectum, sigmoid colon, colon and ileocecal valve) of adults patients.
Objective:To compare the additional diagnostic yield obtained by using the PeerScope System™ extended view vs. the diagnostic yield obtained by the Standard view colonoscopy.
In addition, time measurements including time to cecum, time for withdrawal and overall procedure time will be analyzed and reported for each group.

- polyp detection rate [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
Sample size calculation is based on detecting a difference in the adenoma overall detection rate and the overall polyp detection rate using the PeerScope System™ extended view as compared to Standard view colonoscopy.
Total sample size will be 196 patients. Each patient will undergo the procedure by the two devices: PeerScope System™ extended view and Standard view colonoscopy. The rational for this sample size is based on detecting a rate difference of 20% between the study devices.
