Figure 1

The patient centered re-design of the imaging device. (a) The main body consists of the motor compartment and the imaging module. The disposable medical-grade clear polycarbonate tube is mounted and secured to the main body by the use of two built-in connectors. Connector A on the main body and Connector B on the tube are as shown, respectively. (b) The tube mounting process for the new AnCam requires insertion of the imaging module into the transparent tube, turning the tube and the main body to engage Connectors A and B. The patient-facing tube is single use and disposable. The non-patient facing main body and tubing are covered with a single use plastic disposable sheath. (c,d) Photographs of the scanning endoscope system used in the clinical study.
