Creating Patient Instructions for the Procedure
Patient Instructions are handouts used to guide the patient in preparing for the PillCam capsule endoscopy
procedure.
Pre-ingestion Instruction Handouts
PillCam SB procedure goes with predefined pre-ingestion instruction text.
PillCam ESO/UGI procedure also goes with predefined pre-ingestion instruction text.
PillCam COLON procedures go with customizable pre-ingestion instructions that can be created by the
physician using the Regimen Manager tool. In general, pre-ingestion bowel preparation for PillCam capsule
endoscopy of the colon includes cessation of iron supplement intake several days before capsule ingestion,
then adherence to a Clear Liquid Diet starting from at least a full day before capsule ingestion, to be
followed by customizable laxative intake with water at least the evening before ingestion as well as the
morning of ingestion. All these instructions including the customized laxatives are embedded in the pre-
ingestion regimen instructions.
Pre-ingestion instructions for the respective PillCam procedures are printed and given to the patient before
the day of the procedure.
