ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at the safety of using specially treated water during colonoscopy procedures. Colonoscopy is a test that helps doctors look inside the colon to check for problems. The goal of the study is to ensure that the water used for cleaning equipment during the procedure does not get contaminated with bacteria from patients. This is important because the study aims to confirm that using this type of water is safe for all patients undergoing colonoscopy.

To be eligible for this trial, patients must be scheduled for a colonoscopy on specific days and times and should be adults over the age of 18. They also need to be part of a health insurance plan. However, pregnant women, those under guardianship, or those needing emergency procedures will not be included. If you participate, you can expect to help researchers understand how to improve colonoscopy safety practices, which could benefit future patients. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, so it’s still in the planning stages.
