PillCam Capsule Endoscopy
80 PillCam Recorder—Capsule Pairing (DR3 only)
PillCam Recorder—Capsule Pairing (DR3 only)
PillCam recorder DR3 operates only with capsules that were paired to it. This allows the PillCam recorder
to recognize images from the correct capsule. Pairing is initiated when the PillCam recorder recognizes
transmission from a designated capsule. From that point on, the recorder is associated with the capsule.
The recorder and capsule are then paired.
Designation of the capsule to be used in the procedure may be performed during patient check-in or
immediately before capsule ingestion. The following section describes these two scenarios.
Capsule Designation During Patient Check-in
While entering the patient and procedure data during check-in, type the capsule ID in the Capsule ID field
or use a barcode scanner. The capsule ID is displayed on the capsule package.
During recorder initiation, the unique capsule ID will be transferred into the PillCam recorder together with
the rest of the initiation data. It will appear on the PillCam recorder LCD together with the rest of the
patient data.
As long as no transmission from the checked in capsule is received, pairing is not done. The
Ready for
pairing icon remains in the top right corner of the screen.
If there are PillCam capsule transmissions received by the PillCam recorder, which are not from the
designated capsule, the capsule IDs of these other capsules (only of the checked-in capsule type) are
temporarily displayed on the PillCam recorder screen. Ready for pairing icon remains in the top right
corner of the screen.
When you open the designated capsule box, just before ingestion, the capsule starts blinking and
transmitting, each capsule type in its unique way. The PillCam recorder will automatically pair to the
designated capsule and start recording when it receives transmissions from it.
The
Pairing success icon will appear in the top right corner of the screen.
!
Warning
The PillCam recorder starts recording only after it is paired with the
capsule. If pairing is not complete, no video can be produced. Make sure
you see the Pairing Success icon on the screen and the capsule LED
on top of the recorder blinking in BLUE before capsule ingestion.
