82 Capsule Ingestion
The Pairing success icon will appear in the top right corner of the screen.
Capsule Ingestion
Capsule ingestion is the process of having the patient swallow the PillCam capsule.

Note
• If a PillCam COLON 2 capsule blinks slower than 1 blink per second
during the pairing procedure, return it to its box so that it stops blinking
and start over.
• If, at any time before ingestion, the capsule does not blink for at least 20
seconds, do not use this capsule. Instead, use a different capsule and
repeat the pairing procedure.

Note
If after designating the capsule:
• the patient does not ingest it within ten minutes, or
• you suspect that the capsule is defective.
Return the capsule into its box. When you close the lid, if the capsule stops
blinking, it is deactivated.
If the capsule continues blinking, rotate it around its axis, without removing it
from its place holder in the box until it stops blinking when you close the lid.
To use this capsule later (if it is not defective), you must repeat the pairing
process.

Multiple Procedures
When performing more than one PillCam capsule endoscopy procedure in
the same vicinity, follow these guidelines to prevent signal interference with
other procedures:
• After patient check-in, keep the PillCam recorder in the cradle without
sensors attached until capsule ingestion procedure begins. Return it to
the cradle when the procedure is complete.
• DR2 only: If the blue PillCam recorder LED is blinking before you open
the box of the capsule you intend to use, repeat check-in with the PillCam
recorder (see Performing Patient Check-in on page 43).
• Perform only one capsule ingestion at a time with no other active PillCam
recorder or capsules present in the room.
• Attach sensors to the PillCam recorder immediately prior to the ingestion
after sensors are properly positioned on the patient.
• Do not permit patients wearing PillCam recorders to stay directly next to
other patients with ingested capsules.
• To minimize the potential for radio frequency interference from the
capsule after it is removed from the box, verify that the capsule LEDs are
blinking and have the patient ingest it immediately.
• Once the RAPID video is created, check to be sure the video is complete.
