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
During the clinical trials the test was found to have 100% concordance with surgical findings.
Subsequently the test is proving to be very accurate in first time diagnosis and post operative patients.
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.
