Pancreatox vs Barrx™ RFA simulator

Pancreatox® is a bibliographical databank based on drug-induced pancreatic disorders. Pancreatox® was created in 1985 on Dr Michel BIOUR's initiative. This database has been monthly updated in accordance with other bibliographical databases such as Ringdoc® (Thomson Multimedia), Medline®, Embase®, and X-Reactions® (Adis Press) and with the analysis of the references cited in each registered article. The author has re-evaluated all the published cases for selection and classification in accordance with criterions usually validated in gastroenterology. This database was made available for French and European health officials, for French gastroenterologists, and for pharmaceutical industry. Today, 437 drugs are registered with 2255 corresponding references.

The Barrx™ system is designed to remove the Barrett's epithelium in a short, well-tolerated endoscopic procedure and offers an alternative to "watchful waiting" for patients with intestinal metaplasia, low-grade, and high-grade dysplasia. The Barrx™ 360 express RFA balloon catheter features a self-adjusting ablation balloon that eliminates the sizing process which makes treatments easier and more efficient. The Barrx™ channel RFA endoscopic catheter delivers radiofrequency ablation through the working channel of a flexible endoscope. This application includes an interactive experience that simulates the devices procedures steps, a 3D display of the devices, and useful information for the devices handling and usage.
