Endosure

The Endosure test is a non-Invasive clinical decision support tool that uses myoelectrical data that comes from an Electroviscerogram (EVG). It is a simple non-invasive, painless procedure performed by utilising topical electrode pads similar to those used in an electrocardiogram (ECG). The EndoSure Test analyses the myoelectrical activity of the smooth muscle in the abdomen from the EVG. The data is analysed and compared to the known myoelectric digital fingerprint uniquely associated with endometriosis and adenomyosis.

During the clinical trials the test was found to have 100% concordance with surgical findings.

• All diseased individuals were correctly identified as diseased i.e., there are no false negatives.
• All healthy individuals were correctly identified as healthy, i.e., there were no false positives.

Subsequently the test is proving to be very accurate in first time diagnosis and post operative patients.

Prior to arriving to the clinic for the test you will need to fast for 6 – 8 hours. Once there, the technician will place a flexible respiratory belt across your upper chest over your garments, and three electrode pads on your abdomen. You will be seated in a comfortable, reclining chair. You will then be asked to remain still for 10 minutes during which time a baseline recording is obtained.

At this point, you will then be asked to drink water until you feel full. You will have five minutes to drink the water. For the remainder of the test, you will be asked to sit still in the reclining position for an additional 30 minutes. There is no discomfort or danger associated with this test.

No. The practitioner will need to affix the electrode pads just above your belly button (umbilicus) and so your upper garment will be lifted exposing the abdominal area up to the rib cage and covered up again for the remainder of the test.

The test itself is completed within 60 mins. Before the test there is a short patient preparation time.

The data is available as soon as the test is completed which is then analysed and your diagnosis will be available as soon as your physician can conduct the review, in many cases this will be the same day.
