Important Information - Please Read Before Use
• Patients who are currently taking medication must not take
any medication during the period beginning two hours before
and ending two hours after the beginning of the procedure. If
the medication must be taken on a set schedule, instruct the
patient to consult the prescribing physician about shifting the
schedule. Failure to follow instructions may interfere with the
examination.
• Instruct the patient not to turn the recorder unit's power OFF,
remove the battery pack from the recorder unit, disconnect
the antenna lead set, or remove an antenna pad during the
examination. Failure to follow instructions may interfere with
the examination.
• Antenna cables must be connected from the antenna pads
on the abdomen to the recorder unit worn outside the
clothing. Instruct the patient to avoid wearing one-piece-suit;
a shirt and pants or skirt must be worn to ensure proper
placement of the recorder unit and antenna cables.
• Instruct the patient to stay away from radio-transmitting
devices (i.e. keyless entry, home security, waitress call
system, garage door remote, wireless headphones, ham
radio, etc.) while the capsule endoscope is within his/her
body.
• Instruct the patient to keep the recorder unit, antenna lead
set, and real time viewer away from water, alcohol, and any
other liquids. Liquids entering these components may
damage them and/or result in equipment failure.
• Instruct the patient to avoid using the recorder unit at or
below 0°C/32°F. Failure to follow instructions may cause the
battery pack to deteriorate rapidly, resulting in the
examination ending prematurely.
• Provide your emergency contact number for the patient on
the "Caution for Capsule Endoscopy Patients", included in
the capsule endoscope set A (MAJ-1469).
