Results from clinical trials
Safety and convenience
Researchers from Germany and Israel first assessed the safety of this new generation of the prepless capsule system in two separate studies. The results of those studies were published in Abdominal Radiology in 2017 and demonstrated the safety and feasibility of this device in 141 study participants.

Results from this trial were published in Gut in 2019 and included these relevant findings:
