3. Insert the PillCam recorder into its pouch. Instruct the patient to keep wearing the PillCam recorder
during the examination.
The pouch or belt is ready and the patient can wear it.
Positioning PillCam Recorder DR3
1. Make sure the PillCam recorder is on (navigation button LEDs blink once every 5 seconds).
2. With the patient standing, hang the pouch from the patient’s left shoulder to the right hip.
3. Insert the sensor connector into the PillCam recorder’s slot until you feel and hear a click.
If the sensor is not properly connected to the recorder, appears on the PillCam recorder
screen (see PillCam Recorder DR3 on page 209 for troubleshooting details).
4. If using a PillCam sensor array, tuck the vibrating connector component between the recorder
pouch and the patient's abdomen. This will ensure that the tactile vibrating alerts will be felt by the
patient.
