Measure
SOC Nasopharyngoscope Examination of the Upper Aerodigestive Tract
Participants who meet the clinical criteria to under a nasopharyngoscope examination were asked to have an exam with the study flexible nasopharyngoscope (FNS) after the routine scope exam done as part of their standard of care. They also completed a short survey about your experience with the investigational scope device compared to the routine scope exam.
