The SKOUT system is a software device designed to detect potential colorectal polyps in real time during colonoscopy examinations. It is indicated as a computer-aided detection tool providing colorectal polyps location information to assist qualified and trained gastroenterologists in identifying potential colorectal polyps during colonoscopy examinations in adult patients undergoing colorectal cancer screening or surveillance.

The SKOUT system is only intended to assist the gastroenterologist in identifying suspected colorectal polyps and the gastroenterologist is responsible for reviewing SKOUT suspected polyp areas and confirming the presence or absence of a polyp based on their own medical judgment. SKOUT is not intended to replace a full patient evaluation, nor is it intended to be relied upon to make a primary interpretation of endoscopic procedures, medical diagnosis, or recommendations of treatment/course of action for patients. SKOUT is indicated for white light colonoscopy only.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
