GI View Publications May 2007 Proof-of-concept study of the Aer-O-Scope™ omnidirectional colonoscopic viewing system in ex vivo and in vivo porcine models N.  Arber, R.  Grinshpon, J.  Pfeffer, L.  Maor, S.  Bar-Meir, D.  Rex Endoscopy 2007; 39: 412-417 The sensitivity of the Aer-O-Scope's Omni directional viewing system has been qualitatively assessed in an ex vivo porcine polyp induction model to demonstrate its feasibility and safety in live pigs.

Gastroenterology 2006;130:672-677. The results from a pilot human study were reported. The Aer-O-Scope advanced itself effectively to the cecum. The procedure was safe and well tolerated.

Endoscopy 2006;38:105-208. The Aer-O-Scope pneumatic physician controlled propulsion technology was reported to be safe and effective in the pig model. The intra colonic pressures driving its self advancement and self navigation are lower than those reported for standard colonoscopy. Radiographs demonstrate the minimal forces applied on the colonic wall by the Aer-O-Scope's pliable, ultra-flexible supply cable.

Swain P. Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clincs of North America 2005;15:839-863. Paul Swain on the Aer-O-Scope in his review on emerging endoscopic technologies: "An ingenious colonoscope that uses a difference in air pressure to blow a lightweight colonoscope along the colon has been reported by a group in Israel..." http://www.giendo.theclinics.com/issues/contents?volume=15&issue=4 http://www.giendo.theclinics.com/article/PIIS1052515705000632/abstract May 2005 Emerging Technologies in colorectal cancer screening. Moshkovitz et al . Surgical Oncology Clincs of Notrh America 2005;14:723-746. The Aer-O-Scope breakthrough technology could streamline endoscopic yield, increase throughput and bridge the gap between the number of screening colonoscopies needed and the number of screening colonoscopies available to the public. http://www.surgonc.theclinics.com/issues/contents?volume=14&issue=4
