Check-Cap Gets CE Mark for Ingestible Cancer Screening Capsule

Israel-based medical diagnostic company snagged a CE Mark for its ingestible colorectal cancer screening capsule for use on its C-Scan system.

The system does not require any preparation, unlike traditional methods for which patients must receive laxative preparations and endoscopies.

It combines the ingestible, Z-ray capsule with wireless tracking to generate 2D and 3D maps of the patient’s colon.
