48 OLYMPUS CAPSULE ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM SYSTEM MANUAL
Chapter 4 Operation
4.1 Preparation and Inspection before examination
Before starting an examination, be sure to read and clearly understand the
information in this instruction manual.
Instruct the patient to stay away from equipment that
generates strong electromagnetic fields (such as MRI
equipment), between ingestion and excretion of the capsule
endoscope. Otherwise, injury within the body cavity may
occur. If the excretion of the capsule endoscope has not
been confirmed 30 days after ingestion, attempt to locate the
capsule endoscope within the patient’s body by X-ray
examination.
Instruct the patient to consult their physician immediately if
symptoms such as abdominal pain, discomfort, or nausea
are experienced after ingesting the capsule endoscope.
Injury to the patient may result if treatment for such
symptoms is delayed.
• Instruct the patient not to turn the recorder unit’s power OFF,
push any buttons on the recorder unit, disconnect the
antenna unit, or remove an antenna harness during the examination.
Failure to follow the instructions may interfere with the examination.
• 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).
