Chapter 5 Capsule Endoscope Procedures

OLYMPUS CAPSULE ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM
• The capsule activator is not sterilized. Do not allow the
capsule endoscope to touch the activator.
• Keep the capsule endoscope away from magnets.
Magnets can turn the capsule endoscope ON, resulting in the
consumption of battery power.
• Do not look directly at the capsule endoscope’s LED for a
prolonged duration. It may cause an afterimage.
Inserting the capsule activator again will turn the capsule
endoscope OFF.
Confirming image
To avoid unnecessary consumption of battery power, once
the capsule endoscope has been turned ON, perform the
image confirmation quickly.
1. Bring the capsule endoscope in the sterile container close to an antenna of
the antenna lead set and confirm that the images captured by the capsule
endoscope are displayed on the real time viewer’s display panel. Also
confirm that the recorder unit’s display lamp blinks green simultaneously
with the transmission.
• Do not let the patient ingest the capsule endoscope until you
confirm the green blinking of the recorder unit’s indicator
lamp. Failure to do so may interfere with the examination.
• If the capsule endoscope images are not displayed, remove
the viewer cable from the real time viewer, and check if
images can be displayed via direct reception by the real time
viewer. If images are still not displayed, try using a different
capsule endoscope.
You can check for proper operation of the equipment by
periodically inspecting the status of the indicator lamp.
2. Disconnect the real time viewer cable from the recorder unit, close the
rubber cap for the viewer cable connector, and close the connector cover.
