General Information About the Test
Test Process and Preparation
The capsule moves along thanks to the natural contraction movements (peristalsis) of the intestines, just like the food we eat. During this journey, it takes more than one photo per second and wirelessly transmits these photos to a small recording device worn on the patient's waist.
The patient does not need to stay in the hospital. After swallowing the capsule, the patient returns to their daily life. The capsule is naturally excreted from the body via stool approximately 1-3 days after the procedure and cannot be reused (it is single-use).
Yes. In order for the camera to see the small intestine wall clearly, a bowel cleansing with special medications (laxatives) is required the day before the procedure, just as in a colonoscopy.
