RAPID Video Files
A RAPID study is the collection of files associated with a specific PillCam Capsule Endoscopy
procedure. A RAPID study is contained in a folder that contains the RAPID video file.
The *.gvi file and the RAPID study name consists of several elements separated by spaces. The
components are derived from Patient Check-in information transferred from the PillCam recorder
during the video creation:
• Patient’s last name
• Patient’s middle initial
• Patient’s first name
• Patient’s ID number in parentheses
• Examination date in the following format: (DD MMM YYYY)
For example: the RAPID folder with the name
Doe F. John (12345) 21 Feb 2008, which resides in E:\videos, contains the file named Doe F. John
(12345) 21 Feb 2008.gvi.
You may save a RAPID folder and a RAPID video to a removable media (USB storage device or disc)
for one of the following reasons:
• To back up a RAPID study.
• To copy a RAPID study from the hard disk in order to free space on the computer.
• To move a copy of a RAPID study onto another computer or to another physician.
To save a RAPID study to a CD/DVD, see Burning a Study to a CD/DVD on page 108.
To save a RAPID study to a USB storage device, see Saving a Study to Another Archive on page 110.
