Performing PillCam Capsule Endoscopy
PillCam Recorder—Capsule Pairing (DR3 only) 81
Capsule Designation Before Capsule Ingestion
There are two situations when you need to perform capsule designation manually immediately prior to
ingestion:
• if designation was not performed during check-in, or
• if designation was performed, but the designated capsule is not available for the procedure.
As long as there are PillCam capsule transmissions received by the PillCam recorder but are not from a
designated capsule, the capsule IDs of these other capsules (only of the checked-in capsule type) are
temporarily displayed on the PillCam recorder screen. The Ready for pairing icon remains in the
top right corner of the screen.
To designate and pair a capsule to be used in the procedure before capsule ingestion:
1. Open the capsule box lid—the capsule starts blinking, each capsule in its unique blinking pattern
(see System Specifications on page 217). Right after opening the lid, the blinking rate for
PillCam SB 3 and PillCam COLON 2 capsules should still be 2 fps per head, the same as for
PillCam SB 2. For PillCam SB 2 (fixed 4 fps variant) the blinking rate should be 4 fps. For PillCam
UGI, the blinking rate is 35 fps per head. Hold the capsule close to the sensors worn by the patient
during this pairing process.
2. When the Ready for pairing icon is displayed in the top right corner of the screen and when
the PillCam recorder detects your PillCam capsule, its ID code is displayed on the screen (alone or
in addition to IDs from other capsules).
3. If only one capsule ID appears on the PillCam recorder screen, check the capsule ID shown in the
PillCam recorder screen against the capsule ID displayed on the PillCam capsule package. If the
codes match, press the middle navigation button, above which appears on the screen.
4. If more than one capsule ID appears on the PillCam recorder screen, use the navigation buttons
(located below or icons on the screen) to scroll to your capsule ID and press the middle
navigation button (located below icon on the screen) to designate and initiate pairing of your
capsule with the PillCam recorder.
