ASGE Technology Status Evaluation Report: wireless esophageal pH monitoring system. Endoscopy

摘要

To promote the appropriate use of new or emerging technologies, the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Technology Committee has developed a series of status evaluation papers. This process presents relevant information about these technologies to practicing physicians for the education and the care of their patients. In many cases, data from randomized controlled trials are lacking, and only preliminary clinical studies are available. Practitioners should continue to monitor the medical literature for subsequent data about the efficacy, the safety, and the societal and economic aspects of the technologies.
