The diagnostic procedure is simple and painless and is carried
out in 3 easy steps.
Patients will begin their fast after their evening meal.
Before swallowing the capsule, the patient will put on the belt
which holds the recorder and the battery pack and the nurse or
GI technician will attach the sensor array to the patient.
The GivenŽ M2A capsule is swallowed
The M2A capsule moves through the digestive track naturally with
the aid of the peristaltic activity of the gastrointestinal
muscles.
The Procedure
The patient comfortably continues with regular activities
throughout the GI examination without feeling sensations
resulting from the capsule's passage. The capsule is excreted
normally and effortlessly after it completes its journey.
The Diagnosis
The video is downloaded from the recorder to the RAPID
workstation which processes the video. The software also
provides a localization diagram of the capsule's progress
through the small intestine. The physician can also create
reports to be viewed and printed.
The visual information supplied by the GivenŽ system makes
it possible for the gastroenterologist to detect pathologies of
the small intestine.
