Fitting Equipment on the Patient 57
Before dispensing the PillCam capsule, the equipment must be prepared.
Attaching the Sensors to the PillCam Recorder
The PillCam recorder is worn by patients during the procedure in the recorder pouch with shoulder
strap or in the recorder belt with suspenders. Make sure that these accessories fit the patient
comfortably.
Recorder Pouch
To fit the recorder pouch:
1. With the patient standing, hang the recorder pouch from the patient’s shoulder as displayed in the
illustration.
2. Adjust the shoulder strap so that the recorder hangs at the patient's side at waist level with the
supplied strap securing the recorder to the waist.

Note
Adjust the downlink loop to remove excess cable so that it fits closely to the
patient's body. To prevent damage to the wires do not forcibly bend the
downlink loop in any way.

Caution
• Make sure that there is no other PillCam capsule or other diagnostic
capsule in the patient’s gastrointestinal tract.
• Verify that the capsule expiration date has not passed (see the date next
to the icon on the packaging).
• If you are performing the procedure for the first time, read the capsule
package insert.
