To determine capsule exit, you can observe the data display on the data receiver for at
least 2 minutes. If the data receiver is receiving data from the capsule, this icon
appears every 20–40 seconds, which confirms that the capsule is still in the patient. No
evidence of the icon within the 2-minute observation is presumptive evidence of
capsule exit. Actual passage can only be confirmed clinically by examination of the
graph or physical examination.
Returning the Data Receiver
Following the test, the patient returns the data receiver and patient diary to your office.
A nurse or medical technician can perform these steps.
1. Collect the data receiver.
2. Ask the patient about his or her experience with the SmartPill test. Use MotiliGI’s
Post-Test Notes screen for recording information:
x Did the patient experience any unusual cramping, pain or discomfort?
x At any time during the test was the patient separated from the data receiver?
x Did the patient observe the capsule in their stool confirming body exit?
3. Collect the patient diary.
► Review the diary’s contents to ensure the patient’s notes are legible and comprehensible.
4. Release the patient.
