Neptune Medical’s robotic colonoscopy system obtains FDA clearance

Neptune Medical has landed an FDA clearance for its robotic system designed to provide stable control during colonoscopy.

The Triton 1 flexible endoscopy system is designed to reach anywhere within the colon for both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including screenings for colorectal cancer as well as the removal of early-stage tumors and precancerous growths.

According to the company, endoscope instability with traditional, hand-controlled methods still contributes to missed polyps and post-colonoscopy cancer rates, despite years of provider experience and training.
