OLYMPUS CAPSULE ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM SYSTEM MANUAL

• This system is used to examine the small intestine by the

patient’s ingestion of a capsule endoscope, that continuously

takes pictures as it moves down the gastrointestinal tract by

peristalsis. The captured images are radio transmitted to the

recorder unit, and are observed using the workstation. After

the examination, the capsule endoscope is excreted

naturally.

• Have a spare capsule endoscope ready for use in case the

primary device is determined to be unusable prior to patient

ingestion.

• After turning ON the capsule endoscope, bring it near the

antenna unit on the patient, and confirm that the radio

reception indicator lamp blinks in green. If the indicator does

not blink, the capsule endoscope and/or the recorder unit

may be malfunctioning.

• You can check for proper operation of the equipment by

periodically inspecting the status of the indicator lamp.
