Medtronic has received CE Mark approval for its Endoflip 300 impedance planimetry system, designed to measure pressure and dimensions in the esophagus and pylorus, aiding in the diagnosis of esophageal motility disorders. The system addresses the challenge of delayed or missed diagnoses, which occur in up to 50% of endoscopies. The device offers real-time diameter and pressure measurements via a balloon catheter, enabling more precise diagnostics during a standard endoscopy, which can be completed in approximately five minutes. The system will soon be available across Europe and is already cleared for use in the U.S.
