The ASGE Technology Committee provides reviews of existing, new, or emerging endoscopic
technologies that have an impact on the practice of GI endoscopy. Evidence-based methodology
is used, by performing a MEDLINE literature search to identify pertinent clinical
studies on the topic and a MAUDE (U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Devices
and Radiological Health) database search to identify the reported complications of
a given technology. Both are supplemented by accessing the “related articles” feature
of PubMed and by scrutinizing pertinent references cited by the identified studies.
Controlled clinical trials are emphasized, but in many cases, data from randomized,
controlled trials are lacking. In such cases, large case series, preliminary clinical
studies, and expert opinions are used. Technical data are gathered from traditional
and Web-based publications, proprietary publications, and informal communications
with pertinent vendors.
