Preparing for PillCam Capsule Endoscopy
Performing Patient Check-in 43
Performing Patient Check-in
Patient check-in is the process of entering patient and procedure data into the PillCam recorder. This
information becomes part of the data in the RAPID video and capsule endoscopy report. During this
process, old data from previous procedures is cleared and the new patient and regimen information is
saved to the PillCam recorder.
For colon visualization procedures: patient check-in also programs the PillCam recorder to provide
post-ingestion patient alerts. It also allows you to print out the selected post-ingestion instructions for
the patient. Make sure that the RAPID workstation or PC is connected to a printer (for printing the post-
ingestion patient instructions).
1. Make sure the PillCam recorder is fully charged and connected to RAPID.
2. From the Home screen, click Patient Check-in.
3. In the Procedures screen, click the Recorder bar.
4. Click Check-in Patient.
