The PillCam™ SB 3 capsule endoscopy system is the ingestible camera in a capsule that allows for visualization of the small bowel.
The PillCam™ SB 3 capsule endoscopy system is a minimally invasive ingestible camera in a capsule that allows visualization of the small bowel. PillCam™ is used in a clinic or hospital environment and administered by a clinician or staff. Patients are equipped with a small recording device and ingest a capsule the size of a multi-vitamin, which they pass and don’t need to collect.
For 20 years, the PillCam™ capsule endoscopy system has been a leader in providing physicians with tools that may help them visualize and monitor lesions. These lesions may indicate or be a source of conditions such as Crohn’s disease, obscure bleeding, or iron deficiency anemia not detected by upper and lower endoscopy.
The PillCam™ recorder 3 is a recording device with a built-in, real-time viewer, which is worn by the patient during the PillCam™ procedure. Following the procedure, the physician downloads the images from the PillCam™ recorder 3 for interpretation.
The PillCam™ sensor array features an 8-lead sensor, which is placed on the patient’s body to receive transmission data from the capsule. It can be used as an alternative to the sensor belt. Also available for pediatric or smaller patients.
Patients undergoing capsule endoscopy with the PillCam™ SB 3 system may wear the sensor belt to receive transmission data from PillCam™ SB 3 capsule. The belt is worn around the patient’s waist over a single layer of clothing and can be adjusted to achieve the most comfortable fit.
