The purpose of this study is to gain early experience in the Triton 1.5 System in performing diagnostic, screening, surveillance, and basic therapeutic tasks (e.g., polypectomy for lesions ≤ 2 cm). This study will be the first clinical experience with Triton 1.5 in the Middle East, conducted at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi.
The study will include up to 10 patients for operator training and familiarization with the Triton 1.5 System. Data from the training phase will be collected for operational and safety review but will not contribute to the primary or secondary endpoint analyses. Up to 20 subjects will undergo robotic colonoscopy to evaluate the performance of Triton 1.5 System in diagnostic, screening, surveillance colonoscopies, which are inclusive of basic therapeutic tasks, such as polypectomy for lesions ≤ 2 cm.

Primary Safety Endpoint - Incident of Major Adverse Events within 48 Hours
Absence of Major Adverse Events (MAEs) within 48 hours of the procedure. MAEs are defined as the following: (a) Device-related death within 48 hours, (b) Perforation within 48 hours, (c) Intraprocedural bleeding preventing completion of the procedure, (d) Delayed bleeding within 48 hours accompanied by predefined symptoms and confirmed by a hemoglobin drop of \>2 g, as applicable, leading to admission to hospital, prolongation of existing hospital stay, another procedure (requiring sedation/anesthesia). Unit of Measure: Number of participants with at least one Major Adverse Event
Time frame: 48 Hours
Primary Efficacy Endpoint - Successful Completion of Colonoscopy During Procedure
Completion of colonoscopy defined by both: (a) Successful cecal intubation with visualization of the appendiceal orifice, (b) Successful withdrawal with clinically acceptable diagnostic inspection and therapeutic access.
Time frame: During Procedure
Secondary Safety Endpoint - Mucosal Injury Score During Procedure
Mucosal Injury graded using a visual assessment of the colonic wall during withdrawal of the procedure using the following scale: (1) Erythema / Bruising, (2) Mucosal break \< 5 mm, (3) Mucosal break \> 5 mm, (4) Muscle injury (non-full thickness), (5) Full-thickness injury. Unit of Measure: Score (1-5), higher scores indicate more severe injury
Time frame: During Procedure
Secondary Safety Endpoint - Delayed Bleeding Within 14 Days
Delayed bleeding within 14 days, defined as: bleeding within 48 hours accompanied by pre-defined symptoms and confirmed by a hemoglobin drop \> 2 g, leading to admission to hospital, prolongation of existing hospital stay, another procedure (requiring sedation/anesthesia).
Time frame: 14 days Post-Procedure
Secondary Safety Endpoint - Delayed Perforations Within 14 Days
This platform is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional.
Delayed perforations within 14 days, defined as: perforations occurring within 14 days post-procedure.
Time frame: 14 days Post-Procedure
Secondary Efficacy Endpoint - Time to Cecum During Procedure
Interval from nested-system insertion at the anal verge to first visualization of the appendiceal orifice. Pauses for ancillary or therapeutic tasks (e.g., biopsy, polypectomy ≤ 2 cm, repositioning, prolonged washing) are recorded and subtracted to isolate insertion performance. For polypectomy pauses, time is measured from first polyp visualization to confirmation of retrieval in the specimen trap. Unit of Measure: Minutes or seconds
Time frame: During Procedure
Secondary Efficacy Endpoint - Need for Repositioning During Procedure
Number of times a participant was repositioned during the procedure. Unit of Measure: Number of repositioning events
Time frame: During Procedure
Secondary Efficacy Endpoint - Polypectomy Success During Procedure
Clinically acceptable polypectomy performed with cold forceps, cold snare, or hot snare leaving no visible residual polyp. Polyps \> 2 cm or lesions too complex for diagnostic colonoscopy are excluded and deferred for later advanced therapy.
Time frame: During Procedure
Secondary Efficacy Endpoint - NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) Post-Procedure
Physician's subjective workload assessment using the NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX), a validated tool consisting of six subscales: Mental Demand, Physical Demand, Temporal Demand, Performance, Effort, and Frustration. Each subscale is scored from 0 to 100 in increments of 5. Higher scores indicate greater perceived workload. Unit of Measure: Composite score (0-600)
Time frame: Immediately after Procedure
Secondary Efficacy Endpoint - Adenoma Detection Rate During Procedure
Percentage of subjects with ≥ 1 histologically confirmed adenoma or carcinoma. Unit of Measure: Percentage of participants
Time frame: Within 30 days Post-Procedure
Secondary Efficacy Endpoint - Patient-Reported Discomfort
Patient experience during colonoscopy, evaluated by asking the patient the following questions during recovery after the procedure on the same day. Patients are asked two questions: 1. How much of the procedure do you remember or were aware of? (0 = nothing at all, 10 = everything), and 2. During the procedure, how much discomfort or pain did you experience? (0 = none, 10 = worst imaginable)?
Time frame: Up to 24 Hours Post-Procedure
