Study Summary
In this study, the investigators will test the ability of the Magnetic Flexible Endoscope (MFE) to travel through the colon of people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). The MFE is a device made of ultra-flexible tubing that contains a camera, light, and magnet at the tip. The tip of the tube is about the size of a penny. The magnet inside the tip allows the MFE to be moved through the colon by a second magnet attached to a robotic arm that is outside the body. The purpose of this study is to see how the MFE travels through the colon of IBD patients and if it is tolerable.
Primary Outcome
Ability to feasibly enter the cecum of the colon. Will be confirmed per standard endoscopic practice of visualizing and photo documenting at least 2 of the 3 common cecum landmarks (ileocecal valve, triradiate fold, appendiceal orifice).
