OLYMPUS CAPSULE ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM SYSTEM MANUAL 19
• If more than one capsule endoscope is ingested at the same
time, image recording may fail because of radio interference.
Before use, the physician has to ensure that the patient has
not swallowed any other capsule endoscope. Do not use the
capsule endoscope with any other swallowable diagnostic
devices because the safety of concomitant use has not been
verified.
• Do not turn ON a capsule endoscope near another
patient already undergoing an examination with an
ingested capsule endoscope. Also do not allow patients
undergoing such examination sit next to each other. It may
cause capsule endoscope images to become distorted.
• While downloading, do not remove either the recorder unit or
the USB cable and/or AC adapter from the recorder unit cradle.
Doing so will result in loss of image data. If you do remove the recorder
or the USB cable and AC adapter, connect the recorder to the workstation
through the recorder unit cradle and the USB cable and restart the workstation
before downloading again.
• Do not drop or strike either product. Equipment damage may occur.
• During the capsule endoscope exam instruct the patient to
stay away from generators of strong electromagnetic fields
(such as MRI equipment, amateur (ham) radio, etc.)
otherwise image recording may not occur due to radio
interference.
• Please advise the patients not to use radio transmitting
devices such as keyless entry devices (frequency range of
possible interference: 306 - 322 MHz) or stay in an area
where other persons may use them frequently, in order to
reduce the possibility of dropped video frames caused by the
use of these devices.
• Since the capsule endoscope is a radio-transmitting device, it
could interfere or experience interference with other
radio-transmitting devices (e.g., telemetry, keyless entry
devices).
• On rare occasions, interference may result in the need to
repeat the capsule endoscope procedure. In this case, the
physician should advise the patient to stay within the
premises of the medical facility during the examination to
prevent this problem from reoccurring.
• The capsule endoscope contains a radio transmitter;
therefore, the patient cannot fly in an airplane until the
examination is over.
• In rare cases, the interference could occur due to the military
use of the frequency band in the USA.
• This device has not been authorized as required by the rules of the
Federal Communications Comission. This device is not, and may not be,
offerd for sale or lease, or sold or leased, until authorization is obtained.
