Brief Summary

A capsule steered by magnetic field force developed by Siemens and Olympus has recently been evaluated in a pilot series in man with encouraging results (Rey JF, Ogata H, Hosoe N, Ohtsuka K, Ogata N, Ikeda K, Aihara H, Pangtay I, Hibi T, Kudo S, Tajiri H. Feasibility of stomach exploration with a guided capsule endoscope. Endoscopy. 2010;42:541-5. Epub 2010 Jun 30.18). This blinded prospective study investigates the accuracy of the magnetically guided capsule (MGCE) compared to gastroscopy in patients with focal lesions and / or gastric symptoms and indication for upper GI Endoscopy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Accuracy of magnetically guided capsule endoscopy (MGCE) as compared to unblinded gastroscopy in the diagnosis of focal lesions.

    To evaluate the accuracy of MGCE, which is performed by the first examiner. After the MGCE examination, conventional gastroscopy is performed by the second examiner and then the results of the two studies are compared.

    2 days

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Accuracy of capsule endoscopy in the diagnosis of diffuse and minor lesions

    2 days

  • Examination times of capsule and conventional gastroscopy

    1 hour

  • Patient acceptance of capsule gastroscopy and conventional gastroscopy

    2 days

  • Adverse events of both procedures

    14 days

Study Arms (1)

patients requiring upper GI endoscopy

OTHER

patients with upper abdominal complaints requiring upper GI endoscopy

Device: Magnetically Guided Capsule (MGCE)

Interventions

"a) MGCE capsule The MGCE capsule is custom-made for observation of the stomach. It is 31 mm in length and 11 mm in diameter and equipped with two image sensors. It contains a permanent magnet to enable magnetic guidance in the stomach by magnetic field." "b) Guidance system The magnet guidance system is custom-made to guide the MGCE capsule inside the stomach. It has a footprint of 1m× 2m and generates a very low level magnetic fields." c) Conventional gastroscope

patients requiring upper GI endoscopy
