M2A Capsule Endoscopy Given Diagnostic System
M2A Capsule Endoscopy is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging device for use in the
gastrointestinal tract. Natural peristalsis moves the M2A Capsule smoothly and
painlessly throughout the gastrointestinal tract, transmitting color video images
as it passes. The procedure us ambulatory, allowing patients to continue daily
activities throughout the endoscopic examination, thereby freeing physicians for
other activities.
For the first time ever, images of the entire small intestine are obtainable
to assist the physician in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases.
Superior Diagnostic Yield
Clinical studies in over 65 sites around the world demonstrated the effectiveness
of the M2A Capsule Endoscopy, leading the accurate diagnoses in complex cases.
The result studies released and experiences in clinical practice indicate that
M2A Capsule endscopy is a reliable and indispensable diagnostic method for the
evaluation of the small intestine. Capsule Endoscopy has the added advantage
of allowing areas to be visualised where conventional radiological and endoscopic
procedure give inadequate results. According to available clinical data, the
detection rate of M2A Capsule Endoscopy is substantially superior to both push
enteroscopy and to the radiological methods for the small intestine.
The M2A Capsule Endoscopy Procedure
1. Ingesting the M2A Capsule
Simply requiring a 10 - hour fast prior to the procedure, Capsule Endoscopy
begins when the patient ingests the capsule with a small amount of water.
2. Undergoing the procedure
Images and data are acquired as the Capsule passes through the digestive system.
This information is then transmitted via an array of sensors to the abdomen,
to the DataRecorder affixed to a belt worn around the patient's waist.
The duration of the examination is about 8 hours.
3. Viewing the results
The patient returns the DataRecoder for processing on the RAPID workstation.
The RAPID application enables the physician to view and analyze the Patient
Rapid Report, save individual images or short clips and add comments for consultation
and reports.
