Only limited data exist on repeatability of anorectal studies with the established physiological and clinical technologies for assessment of anorectal function. Fecobionics is a new multi-sensor simulated feces that provide data by integrating elements from current tests. We assessed the database of Fecobionics studies to determine how many repeated studies were done. From a total of 260 Fecobionics studies, 19 subjects with repeated studies using approximately the same protocol and prototype were identified. Key pressure and bending parameters were assessed and the repeatability analyzed using Bland Altman plots. Furthermore, the inter- and intra-individual coefficient of variation (CV) were computed. Fifteen subjects (5F/10M) with repeated studies were normal subjects, three were patients with fecal incontinence and one subject suffered from chronic constipation. The main analysis was conducted on the cohort of normal subjects. The bias for 11 parameters were within the confidence interval whereas two were slightly outside. The interindividual CV was lowest for the bend angle (10.1–10.7) and between 16.3 and 51.6 for the pressure parameters. The intra-individual CVs were approximately half of the inter-individual CVs, spanning from 9.7 to 27.6. All data from normal subjects were within previously defined normality. The Fecobionics data showed acceptable repeatability with bias within the confidence limits for almost all parameters. The intra-individual CV was much lower than the inter-individual CV. Dedicated large scale studies are warranted to evaluate the influence of age, sex and disease on repeatability as well as comparing between technologies.
