• Do not use a capsule endoscope that has been dropped,
bitten or subjected to excessive pressure. Using such
endoscopes may result in internal injury to the patient due to
equipment damage.
• Store the capsule endoscope in a safe location and out of the
reach of children.
• The capsule endoscope must be ingested under the
supervision of a physician, or medical personnel authorized
by a physician. Clearly instruct the patient not to use the
capsule endoscope on themselves or others without proper
medical supervision.
• Instruct the patient to immediately consult a physician if
he/she experiences abdominal pain, discomfort, or nausea
after ingesting the capsule endoscope. If treatment is
delayed, it may result in internal injury to the patient.
• When using the capsule endoscope, avoid using other
electronic device simultaneously. The safety of the device in
combination with other equipment cannot be guaranteed.
• Do not place the workstation and its peripherals (including
the recorder unit cradle) in the patient environment. Electric
shocks and burns may result.
• Do not use a capsule endoscope after its expiration date. An
expired capsule endoscope may not perform a proper
examination.
• To prevent the capsule endoscope battery from deteriorating,
store the capsule endoscope under a temperature of 0 to
25°C (39 to 77°F). Do not store in a refrigerator or a freezer,
as condensation may result.
• Keep the capsule endoscope away from magnets. Magnets
can turn the capsule endoscope ON, resulting in the
consumption of battery power.
• Keep the capsule activator away from implant devices, such
as cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators, nerve stimulators, and
other equipment that may be affected by DC magnetic fields.
• Before use, check that the surface of the capsule endoscope
is clear of roughness, sharp edges, and projections. They
may cause internal injury to the patient.
