11. By default, the post-capsule ingestion regimen includes at least the following alerts and
instructions:
• Alert 0: An instruction #0 (based on time passed from capsule ingestion) to take prokinetics to
facilitate passage of the PillCam COLON 2 capsule to the small bowel. Threshold of time
passed from capsule ingestion for alert 0 can be modified in the regimen manager for a specific
regimen.
•
Alert 1: An instruction #1 for taking laxative after detection by the PillCam recorder of PillCam
COLON 2 passage into the small bowel. It coincides with the activation of the AFR mode in the
PillCam COLON 2 capsule and the appearance of the AFR status icon in the right corner of the
status line at the top of the PillCam recorder DR3 display. The appearance of alert 1 can be
designated to appear either an additional 0 minutes or 15 minutes after original tentative alert 1
timing. Alert 0 will not occur if alert 1 was raised before it.
• The End of Procedure (EOP) alert occurs when no more capsule images are received by the
PillCam recorder or enough time has elapsed in the procedure. This may occur several minutes
after capsule excretion or after the capsule battery was depleted without excretion in a long
procedure.
In general, additional alerts and instructions can be inserted between alert 1 and the EOP alert to
reflect the physician's preference for post-ingestion instructions in a PillCam COLON 2 procedure.
These instructions can be entered and edited, saved and approved through the Regimen Manager
and be made ready to be selected in the Check-in for a PillCam COLON 2 procedure.
