OMOM RC Capsule Robot

The OMOM RC (RC100) represents Jinshan’s fourth-generation capsule technology, featuring fully automated magnetic navigation that eliminates operator dependence in gastric capsule positioning. Published clinical validation in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology demonstrated 97%+ concordance with conventional gastroscopy.

Product Overview

OMOM RC addresses the fundamental limitation of passive capsule endoscopy: inability to systematically examine the stomach. By integrating robotic magnetic control with AI-powered image analysis, the system enables thorough gastric visualization without sedation, intubation, or skilled operator manipulation.

The platform differentiates from hand-held magnetic control systems (including Jinshan’s earlier “Huitu” platform and competitor Ankon’s NaviCam) through fully autonomous navigation algorithms that systematically survey all gastric anatomical landmarks without human intervention.

Key Features

Designed for fully automated gastric examination, OMOM RC’s robotic magnetic navigation completes the cardia-to-pylorus survey in 15 minutes without operator manipulation.

• Fully Automated Navigation: Robotic magnetic field generation guides capsule through programmed examination sequence covering cardia, fundus, body, angulus, antrum, and pylorus
• AI-Assisted Diagnosis: Vue Smart software automatically identifies and tags up to 16 types of gastrointestinal abnormalities while deleting up to 90% redundant images
• High-Definition Imaging: Inherits OMOM HD capsule platform with 512×512 resolution, 172-degree viewing angle, and adaptive 2-10 FPS capture rate
• 5G Telemedicine Ready: Integration with telehealth infrastructure enables remote specialist oversight during examination
• 15-Minute Complete Examination: Automated workflow significantly reduces procedure time compared to manual magnetic control

Technical Specifications

Designed for automated gastric survey, OMOM RC’s 13.0 × 27.9 mm capsule captures 512 × 512 images at 2–10 fps over 12+ hours with two-way RF communication.

Clinical Applications

Primary indications include gastric cancer screening in average-risk populations, investigation of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB), surveillance of gastric pathology in patients unsuitable for sedated endoscopy, and non-invasive follow-up examination.

The dual-center prospective clinical study enrolled 114 subjects at Army Medical University Second Affiliated Hospital and Chongqing Medical University Second Affiliated Hospital. Results demonstrated complete visualization of all six gastric anatomical landmarks in the vast majority of cases, with overall concordance exceeding 97% against conventional transoral gastroscopy performed 2 hours later.

Regulatory Status

The clinical validation study was published in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology in September 2021, establishing the evidence base for regulatory submissions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between OMOM RC and manual magnetic capsule systems?

OMOM RC uses robotic automation to control capsule navigation, eliminating the learning curve and operator variability associated with hand-held magnetic control. The system follows programmed examination sequences to ensure complete gastric coverage regardless of operator experience.

How long does an OMOM RC examination take?

A complete gastric examination typically requires approximately 15 minutes, followed by passive small bowel transit monitored over 6-8 hours.

Can OMOM RC detect gastric cancer?

Clinical studies demonstrate comparable detection rates to conventional gastroscopy for gastric lesions. The system is indicated for screening examinations rather than therapeutic procedures requiring biopsy or intervention.
