SARATOGA, Calif., Sept. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CapsoVision, Inc. (NASDAQ: CV), a commercial-stage medical technology company developing advanced imaging and AI-enabled capsule endoscopy solutions, today announced that AI Highlights™, its AI-assisted reading tool for the CapsoCam Plus system, received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on September 25, 2026.
AI Highlights is designed to support physicians in the review of small bowel capsule endoscopy studies collected from adult and pediatric patients (over two years of age) in whom the study was performed due to suspected small bowel bleeding, specifically to reduce the time taken to review capsule endoscopy images. It does so through recognizing and marking images containing suspected abnormal lesions, which are highlighted and prioritized for physician review. The feature integrates with CapsoView®, CapsoVision’s video processing and review software, and supports workflows connected to the Company’s CapsoCloud® platform. During video processing, the AI algorithm analyzes frames captured by the CapsoCam Plus capsule. AI-processed studies can then support physician review within connected CapsoView or CapsoCloud workflows, depending on workflow configuration.
“FDA clearance of AI Highlights represents an important milestone in the continued evolution of the CapsoVision platform and our commitment to bringing integrated, AI-assisted technologies to physicians in the United States,” said Johnny Wang, President and Chief Executive Officer of CapsoVision. “Following the international launch of AI Highlights earlier this year, including in the European Union under the Medical Device Regulation, we are pleased to reach this important regulatory milestone in the United States. We believe AI-assisted review tools may help support physician efficiency and may help improve reading performance as capsule endoscopy adoption continues to expand.”
Integrated within the CapsoVision ecosystem, AI Highlights works across the connected CapsoCloud workflow to support capsule endoscopy review without the need for a separate AI platform. Where and when available, CapsoCloud enables organizations to securely access AI-processed videos for remote physician review, collaboration, and case management.
The AI Highlights reading tool that was reviewed and cleared by the FDA represents a part of comprehensive updates to the CapsoView and CapsoCloud software. AI Highlights is intended to be used by trained healthcare professionals and is not intended to replace gastroenterologists’ diagnostic interpretation or, where applicable, histopathological sampling. Please refer to the product’s Instructions for Use for complete information regarding indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and limitations.
