What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating a new capillary endoscopy aspiration catheter designed to collect fluid from the small intestine more efficiently during an endoscopy procedure. The study focuses on comparing this novel catheter to the conventional endoscopy aspiration catheter in patients undergoing esophagogastroduodenoscopy. The goal is to measure the time and volume capabilities of the new catheter in suctioning intestinal fluid, addressing limitations of the current standard such as contamination and slow collection. Participants will be divided into two groups, each with 23 patients. One group will have fluid collected using the standard aspiration catheter, while the other will use the capillary aspiration catheter. Both devices are used during routine upper endoscopy to collect up to 2 milliliters of fluid from the duodenum. The study will compare the time taken and the volume of fluid collected by each catheter to evaluate performance. During the procedure, researchers will record how long it takes to suction the fluid and the volume collected. The samples will be used solely for research and discarded afterward. The study will also monitor for any adverse events like bleeding or perforation shortly after the procedure. Participation involves a single endoscopy visit with fluid collection lasting approximately 5 minutes, and safety monitoring for 30 minutes post-procedure. The total duration of involvement is limited to the clinical endoscopy appointment.
