Regimen Manager 185
Pre-Ingestion Patient Instructions
A completely clean colon is essential for a successful examination. Therefore, the patient must
carefully adhere to the preparation procedure for cleaning the GI tract. The Regimen Manager can be
used to create instructions for the patient to follow before the planned PillCam COLON capsule
endoscopy procedure. The instructions identify the type of medications and liquid intake that must be
taken in order to prepare the colon prior to the procedure. These preparation instructions can be edited
and printed out for the patient beforehand. There could be different instructions appropriate to different
circumstances or available medications. Pre-capsule ingestion patient instruction sets can be created
and edited to maintain a library of valid usable regimen instruction sets.
To edit and save pre-capsule ingestion regimen instructions:
1. From the Home screen, select Tools > Regimen Manager.
The
Regimen Manager screen appears.
2. Select the Pre-capsule Ingestion tab. The Regimen screen appears displaying all available pre-
ingestion regimens.
3. Open a regimen by double clicking it or selecting it and clicking Open.
The Notes field on the top right allows the typing of information for the specific regimen. It will
not appear on the printout.
4. To add an instruction to the regimen click Add Instruction and designate the appropriate start and
end day and time of the instruction using the drop-down lists in the adjacent columns. When typing
the instructions in Instructions for Patient a pop up screen appears if the text is too long.
