Applying the PillCam Sensor Array
The sensor array allows the PillCam recorder to collect localization data during a procedure. The
prescribing physician may request this. To prepare the sensor array:
1. Insert each sensor into an adhesive sleeve. The sensor markings (dots or this side up) should face
away from the adhesive side of the sleeve.
2. To secure the sensor in the sleeve, remove the liner from the topside of the lower lip at the opening of
the adhesive sleeve and press both lips together.
3. Place the sensors on the patient according to the appropriate placement guides (see ESO/UGI Sensor
Locations on page 54, SB Sensor Locations on page 55, or COLON 2 Sensor Locations on page 56).
Necessary Equipment and Accessories
To attach the sensor array to the patient, you need the following equipment:
Sensor array
Sensor Location Guide (ESO/UGI, SB, COLON)
Adhesive sleeves, to hold each one of the sensors securely in place
Razor and disinfectant (not supplied), to shave the area of the sensors on the abdomen
To attach the sensor array:
1. DR3 only: With the patient standing and exposing the thorax and abdominal area, place the sensor
array loop on the left shoulder. If the loop is too long, gather and fasten the surplus in the fastener.
2. Ask the patient to lie down.
3. Use the appropriate Sensor Location Guide to identify the location of each sensor on the patient's body
and mark it with a dot.
4. The sensor array sleeves should be applied to hairless skin. If needed, wipe the patient's skin with
disinfectant and shave the areas where sensors are to be applied.

Note
Sensor arrays must be applied directly to smooth skin. Anything that comes
between the patient's skin and the sensors, including hair or air, and any
changes in the sensors' arrangement, may interfere with the quality of the
data.

Warning
Do not use the sensor array if it is torn or damaged.
