C-Scan
®
Cap
An ingestible capsule enabling intra-colon visualization, based on an X-Ray source and
an array of detectors. During C-Scan
®
procedure the subject can continue with his daily
routine. The C-Scan
®
Cap is ingested by the subject and propelled by peristalsis natural
motility, it passes through the gastrointestinal tract and excreted naturally.
The C-Scan
®
Cap is designed to start scanning when the capsule enters the colon.
While stationary (which is most of the time) the C-Scan
®
Cap is set at an idle mode and
the radiation X-ray source is blocked. During normal procedure, Large Intestine receives
dose up to 1 mGy (the same as single Abdomen x-ray), other organs doses are much
lower. The C-Scan
®
Cap is powered by onboard batteries and is designed to operate up
to 150 hours.
C-Scan
®
Track
The C-Scan
®
Track is an external device that wirelessly communicates with the C-Scan
®
Cap: tracks the Cap position, sends commands to the C-Scan
®
Cap, receives and stores
imaging data sent by the C-Scan
®
Cap. The C-Scan
®
Track also records the transit time
from capsule ingestion to excretion and enables data download for analysis in the C-
Scan
®
View software.
The C-Scan
®
Track contains several LEDs, which blink at a fixed rate, as well as a
vibration and a buzzer. These features provide an indication of proper functioning of the
system and alert in case of a system malfunction, see section 6.7 for a detailed overview
of the system’s notifications.
The C-Scan
®
Track is attached to the subject's back via adhesive skin pouches. The
subject can continue his routine behavior with the C-Scan
®
Track attached to his back.
C-Scan
®
Kit
The C-Scan
®
Kit contains the C-Scan
®
Cap and the C-Scan
®
Track.
