Sierra Scientific Instruments Inc. (SSI) announced the commercial availability of ManoScan, its novel solid-state high-resolution manometry system this week at the American Gastroenterological Association annual Digestive Disease Week (DDW) meeting in New Orleans. SSI provided demonstrations of ManoScan's novel real-time high-resolution data collection and patient case studies seen as unprecedented full-field high-resolution pressure video images. Mr. Dominic Bellino, Director of Sales remarked, "interest was very high among experts and clinicians alike and we were extremely busy showing the system for the entire meeting." Four academic presentations were made involving ManoScan and high-resolution manometry. An oral presentation was made by Dr. Ray Clouse of Washington University School of Medicine that demonstrated SSI's unique eSleeve™ capability, which electronically produces a traditional sleeve sensor signal while simultaneously providing full-fidelity pressure images (patent pending). This function along with other ManoScan features are designed to make the system insensitive to operator technique while providing more reliable diagnostic parameters and new clarity in post-testing analysis. (Abstracts of the presented material and other publications are available from SSI).
