Preparing for PillCam Capsule Endoscopy
Performing Patient Check-in 47
g. In Capsule Type, if you have not filled in Capsule ID in the previous field, select the correct
type of procedure (SB 2, SB 3, ESO 3, COLON 2). If you have filled in the Capsule ID field,
this field will auto-populate with the corresponding capsule type.
h. For DR2 recorders, in the Sensor Type drop-down list, select the sensor type. Only those
sensor types appropriate for the selected capsule type field value will appear in the selection
menu. To ensure accurate localization information use only the sensor type that you defined
in the check-in process.

8. For PillCam COLON 2 procedures only: Select a regimen and print it out to hand it out to the
patient before capsule ingestion. Use the Delay first instruction? checkbox (ON by default) to
determine if a predefined minimum 90 minute free-of-instructions period will or will not be forced
between the time of ingestion and the first instruction to the patient. If the delay first instruction is
set, the first instruction to the patient will be either alert 0 (if still relevant) or alert 1:
• 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.
If you do not change this parameter during check-in, it remains in its default state (ON for “Delay
first instruction”, i.e. delayed) but you may set it also through the PillCam recorder DR3 before
pairing the PillCam COLON 2 capsule to the PillCam recorder DR3.
