PillCam Capsule Endoscopy

32 PillCam Capsule Endoscopy System Components

PillCam Sensors

The PillCam sensors are physical receptors that receive transmission data from the PillCam capsule and

transfer it to the PillCam recorder. These sensors are placed on the patient as a sensor belt or a sensor

array:

• PillCam sensor belt: The sensor belt is worn around the patient’s waist over a thin shirt.

• PillCam sensor array: The sensors of the sensor array are attached to the patient's skin. The sensor

locations depend on the procedure type. Each sensor consists of a flexible printed circuit board (PCB)

and is attached with a disposable, medical adhesive sleeve.

The PillCam sensor array and belt are connected to the PillCam recorder by a flexible cable.

RAPID for PillCam Software

The RAPID for PillCam software (RAPID v8.3) supports the PillCam capsule endoscopy procedure by

providing access to the different steps in the PillCam capsule endoscopy procedure via the Home screen.

Home Screen

After starting the RAPID v8.3 software, the Home screen appears. The Home screen is the main screen

that provides access to all phases of the PillCam capsule endoscopy procedure.

The Home screen enables the following functions:

• Patient Check-in: Admitting the patient and initializing PillCam recorder.

• Recorder Download: Creating the RAPID video.

• View Study: Viewing videos and allowing interpretation as well as generating capsule endoscopy

report (see Reviewing and Interpreting RAPID Videos on page 97).

rubber latex components.
