About the study

This study plans to enroll up to 75 research subject who have a biliary disorder such as bile duct stones or intermediate biliary strictures. The purpose of this research is to assess whether the Dragonfly™ Pancreaticobiliary Scope functioned as intended in combination with the commercially available accessories during your scheduled endoscopy procedure. This includes achieving stone fragmentation of difficult biliary stone(s) while obtaining adequate tissue specimens for analysis. There will also be a Product performance evaluation as rated by the endoscopist operating the DPS System and evaluation of ergonomics and usability.
