The M2A™ Capsule starts immediately after its removal
from the proximity of the magnet in the blister and the
consequent closing of the magnetic switch in the capsule.
After a brief (less than one minute) test by the physician to
verify that the capsule is active, the capsule is ingested by the
patient.
In order to minimize the potential for radiofrequency
interference from the device after removing it from the
blister package and until it is ingested by the patient, the
M2A™ capsule should be tested as quickly as possible.
After verification that the M2A™ capsule is operational –
it should be immediately ingested by the patient.
While active, the capsule transmits images at a rate of 2
images per second. For each image, an illuminating light
flash of 100ms is applied with the illuminating LEDs. When
the battery power is depleted, the transmitter disables the
imager and switches the M2A™ Capsule off.
For specification and technical parameters of the M2A™
Capsule, refer to System Specifications on page 15. For
Indications and Contraindications, refer to Indications and
Contraindications on page 9.
