Treatments tested in this trial
NaviCam Detachable String Capsule
DeviceSubjects will swallow the NaviCam capsule with 20 ml water while positioned in the upright position. Once the capsule reaches the gastric cardia, the string will slowly be pulled up to systematically inspect the Z-line and upper, middle, and lower thirds of the esophagus guided by real-time viewing and by moving the capsule solely with the tether. Images will be captured at a rate of 2 frames per second.

Detection of Columnar lined epithelium in the esophagus
Secondary outcomes
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is an 11-tem questionnaire assessing pain, where 0 represents the "worst experience" and 10 the "best experience". Total scores range from 0 - 110, lower scores indicating lower pain and higher scores indicating greater pain.
Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-6)
Patient anxiety will be measured using the shorter 6 item form of the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-6), with a score over 40 as a threshold for clinically significant anxiety
Impact of Events Scale (IES)
The Impact of Events Scale (IES) will be used to assess distress associated with the procedure and procedure acceptability. The IES is rated on a scale of 0 (not at all) to 4 (extremely), with higher scores indicating a greater level of distress.
