The EndoSure Test is a groundbreaking, non-invasive diagnostic tool that offers remarkable accuracy in detecting endometriosis. Designed to equip healthcare professionals with critical data, it facilitates the swift diagnosis of this condition. The entire testing process is efficiently completed in under an hour, with the potential for results to be delivered within days.
Similar in how it works to an ECG, the EndoSure Test, rather than measuring the heart’s electrical activity, focuses on identifying a distinctive pattern of activity within the abdominal area. This is indicative of the presence of endometriosis tissue. This innovative approach ensures a seamless and expedient experience for patients.
During the clinical trials the test was found to have 100% in agreement with surgical findings.
Subsequently the test is proving to be very accurate in first time diagnosis and post operative patients.
The EndoSure Test was introduced in 2023, however the basis of this scientific discovery was first reported in 1998 by John Mathias, when it was identified that endometrial tissue secretes a substance that causes an irregular reaction in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The EndoSure Test identifies this biomarker by analysing the myoelectrical activity of the GI tract.
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.1
Nothing by mouth for 8 hours please. Stomach area free of oils, perfumes and lotions so the electrodes can stick.
Upon arrival at the clinic the technician will attach three electrodes to your stomach, its recommend to use this time to visit the bathroom.
A 10 minute pre-recording will be performed to attain your baseline reading.
Drink enough water to feel full, this helps the accuracy of the endosure test.
The test will take approximately 50 minutes, just relax and have a lie down. After the test is complete the technician will collate the information and give an indication of the result. These are then sent to our referring clinician who will review them and then provide a written results letter.
Prior to arriving to the clinic for the test you will need to fast from food for 8 hours. Sips of water can be had upto 2 hours prior to the test. There is a requirement to manage some medications. This information will be shared with you at your first point of contact with the clinic.
No. The practitioner will need to affix the electrode pads just above your belly button (umbilicus), 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. It is recommended that comfortable clothing is worn.
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.
This price is for the EndoSure test only.
