•
Do not allow the antenna cable to lay on or near the antenna
pads. It may prevent the proper reception of capsule
endoscope images.
•
Do not use an antenna pad that has been completely folded.
Its reception performance may be degraded, causing noise to
appear in the transmitted images.
•
The capsule endoscope should only be ingested with water.
Use of other liquids may interfere with the examination.
•
Only one capsule endoscope should be ingested per
examination. If the patient ingests more than one capsule
endoscope simultaneously. It may cause the images to lost.
•
Do not turn ON a capsule endoscope within 1 m/3.3 ft. of
another patient already undergoing an examination with an
ingested capsule endoscope. It may cause capsule
endoscope images to become distorted.
•
During the examination, have the patient stay away from
radio-transmitting devices (i.e. keyless entry, home security,
waitress call system, garage door remote, wireless
headphones, ham radio, etc.).
•
While downloading, do not remove the recorder unit from the
recorder unit cradle, unplug the AC adapter, or turn the
workstation or the recorder unit OFF. Doing so will interrupt

•
This system is used to examine the small intestine by the
patient's ingestion of a capsule endoscope, which
continuously takes pictures as it moves down the
gastrointestinal tract by peristalsis. The captured images are
radio transmitted to the recorder unit, and can be observed
using the workstation. After the examination, the capsule
endoscope is excreted naturally.
•
The duration of the capsule endoscope's presence within the
stomach and the small intestine varies from patient to patient.
There may also be other residual material within the
gastrointestinal tract. For these reasons, it may not be
possible to capture images of some parts of the small
intestine.
