Point-of-care Anorectal Testing to Predict Outcomes With Biofeedback Therapy: Clinical Trial

"After a complete physical exam at bedside including a digital rectal exam, the patient is turned on their side and RED is gently inserted into the rectum. The patient is then given one minute to expel RED while remaining on their side. If the patient is unable to pass RED, the patient transfers to a commode and attempts to expel the device. If the device is not expelled, the device can be safely removed at bedside and the patient diagnosed with a biofeedback-responsive evacuation disorder.~The RED device is manufactured by Rose Medical (Grand Rapids, MI) under GMP conditions and final assembly is performed by In2Being (Saline, MI). The device contains accepted technologies that are already in use of humans, namely biomedical grade materials."
