5.9 During the examination
Familiarize the patient with the following dangers, warnings and cautions.
The capsule endoscope contains metal parts. While the
capsule endoscope is in your body, stay away from
equipment (i.e. MRI equipment) for which wearing of metallic
objects is prohibited.
Immediately consult a physician if abdominal pain,
discomfort, or nausea is experienced after the patient ingests
the capsule endoscope. If treatment is delayed, it may result
in injury to the body cavity.
• With allergic patients, reddening or irritation of the skin may
be caused by the adhesive on the antenna lead cover.
• Do not remove the antenna lead set or the recorder unit
harness until the examination is completed. Failure to follow
instructions may interfere with the examination.
• Do not turn the recorder unit OFF, remove the battery pack
from the recorder unit, or disconnect the antenna lead set
during the examination. Failure to follow instructions may
interfere with the examination.
• During the examination, avoid pointing radio-transmitting
devices (i.e. keyless entry, home security, waitress call
system, garage door remote, wireless headphones, ham
radio, etc.) at the antenna leads.
