Q: What is a PillCam video capsule?
A: An ingestible capsule device equipped with a miniature video camera to visualize the small intestine (PillCam SB), and esophagus (PillCam ESO) for detection of damage or disease.
Q: How does PillCam SB capsule endoscopy work? ?
A: The smooth plastic capsule contains a miniature video camera and is equipped with a light source on one end, batteries, a radio transmitter and antenna. After it is swallowed, the PillCam SB capsule transmits approximately 50,000 images over the course of an 8-hour period (about 2 images per second) to a data recording device attached to a belt worn around the patient’s waist. The small bowel images are then downloaded into a Given® Workstation computer where a physician can review the images in order to make a diagnosis.
Q: How does PillCam ESO capsule endoscopy work?
A: During the 20-minutes procedure, the PillCam ESO video capsule transmits about 2,600 color images (14 images per second) to a data recording device attached to a belt worn around the patient’s waist. The images are then downloaded into a Given® Workstation computer where a physician can review the images in order to make a diagnosis.
Q: How does the patient prepare for PillCam capsule endoscopy of the small bowel?
A: A patient fasts for 10 hours prior to the procedure, then swallows the PillCam SB video capsule with a glass of water. Images and data are acquired as the PillCam SB capsule passes through the digestive system over an 8-hour period. This information is transmitted via a SensorArray ([[http://melbournesearchengineoptimisation.wordpress.com/ search engine optimisation in Melbourne]]) to the portable DataRecorder attached to a belt worn around the patient's waist. Once the patient swallows the capsule they can continue with their daily activities. After eight hours they return to the physician’s office with the DataRecorder so the images can be downloaded, and a diagnosis can be made.

A: A patient will fast for at least two hours before swallowing the PillCam ESO video capsule. The capsule is easily swallowed with water while the patient lies on his or her back. The patient is then raised by 30 degree angles every two minutes until the patient is sitting upright. Similar to the PillCam SB procedure, the patient is wearing the DataRecorder on a belt around the waist.
