Exclusion criteria
• Risk of capsule examination:
The capsule endoscope is warranted for remaining within the body for
up to 30 days. If the capsule endoscope is not excreted from the body, it
must be collected using an endoscope or by surgery, within 30 days
from the date of ingestion. To determine the location of the capsule
endoscope within the patient’s body, an X-ray examination may be
required. For this reason, the following exclusion criteria have been set.
Be sure to explain this risk to the patient and obtain his/her consent prior
to the examination.
−Patients who have not given the consent.
−Patients who, as a result of X-ray examinations or past profiling
examinations, have been determined to have a obstruction clear
narrowing, adhesion, and/or diverticula in the gastrointestinal tract
which may interfere with the passing capsule endoscope.
−Patients who have had open abdominal surgery.
−Patient is a non-surgical candidate.
−Pregnant women.
−Patients with serious gastrointestinal transit delay.
• The capsule endoscope may accidentally go down the trachea, if the
patient has difficulties in swallowing.
• Patients using equipment that may be affected by radio transmission (i.e.
cardiac pacemaker and other implanted electrical medical devices). The
capsule endoscope has not been tested with such equipment for safety.

Danger, warnings and cautions
Follow the dangers, warnings and cautions given below when handling the
Olympus capsule endoscope system. This information is to be supplemented by
the dangers, warnings and cautions given in each chapter.
Instruct the patient to stay away from generators of strong
electromagnetic fields (such as MRI equipment), between
ingestion and excretion of the capsule endoscope.
Otherwise, injury within the body cavity may occur.
• The effect of the capsule endoscope on the safety of the
patient’s body has only been tested for a period of 30 days. If
the excretion of the capsule endoscope has not been
confirmed, conduct an X-ray examination in an attempt to
locate the capsule endoscope within the patient’s body. If the
capsule endoscope is located within the body, it must be
collected within 30 days from the date of ingestion.
• Regardless of the positive/negative result, one examination
does not cover all of the small intestine. Continuous checkup
is required.
• Avoid use under combustible environments, such as:
−where the concentration of oxygen is high.
−where oxidizing agents, such as nitrous oxide (N2O), are
contained in the atmosphere.
−nearby a location using combustible anesthetic gases.
The system is not explosion-proof, and may cause an
explosion or a fire.

cause the system to malfunction.
• This system is used to examine the small intestine by the
patient’s ingestion of a capsule endoscope, which
continuously takes pictures as it moves down the
gastrointestinal tract by peristalsis. The captured images are
radio transmitted to the recorder unit, and can be observed
using the workstation. After the examination, the capsule
endoscope is excreted naturally.
• The duration of the capsule endoscope’s presence within the
stomach and the small intestine varies from patient to patient.
There may also be other residual material within the
gastrointestinal tract. For these reasons, it may not be
possible to capture images of some parts of the small
intestine.

Important Information - Please Read Before Use
OLYMPUS CAPSULE ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM
Expiration date of the capsule endoscope
The battery inside the capsule endoscope actually consumes gradually during
long term storage. This higher storage environment over 25°C may cause the
battery inside the capsule endoscope consume rapidly. The consumption of the
battery inside the capsule endoscope may shorten the operation time
(continuous record and transmission of the images) of the capsule endoscope.
The capsule endoscope is designed to keep 8 continuous hours by the
expiration date printed on the package of the blister pack of the capsule
endoscope if stored in the normal storage environment (0 to 25°C (39 to 77°F)).
• The storage environment of the capsule endoscope is
restricted between 0 to 25°C (39 to 77°F). The severe
storage environment over 25°C may cause the battery inside
the capsule endoscope consume rapidly, and then the
consumption of the battery inside the capsule endoscope
may shorten the operation time of the capsule endoscope. In
such a case, the capsule endoscope may not operate for
8 continuous hours.
• The rapid temperature change between inside and outside of
the refrigerator or the freezer may cause the condensation
inside the capsule endoscope. And this may cause the
battery inside the capsule endoscope consume rapidly or
severe damage and failure in the image.
• Do not use the expired capsule endoscope. The expired
capsule endoscope may not operate for the assured
operation time (8 hours).
• The peristalsis movement differs among patients. The
capsule endoscope does not pass to the cecum within
8 hours after a patient swallows it in every case. The capsule
endoscope typically operates for 8 continuous hours, and it is
not assured for operation for 8 continuous hours for
observation for whole small bowel in every case.
• Please the capsule endoscope be swallowed by a patient
soon after the capsule endoscope turned on to avoid

Battery pack
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack. The battery
pack is equipped with a safety circuit and a protective circuit.
Disabling either or both of these circuits may result in
excessive heat, release of smoke, explosion, and/or a fire.
• Do not connect the (+) and (-) terminals of the battery pack
using pieces of metal. In addition, do not store or transport
the battery pack alongside other metallic objects. The battery
pack may be short-circuited, causing an overflow of current,
resulting in excessive heat, release of smoke, explosion,
and/or a fire from the battery, or excessive heating of the
metallic item.
• Do not heat the battery pack or bring it in contact with fire.
The insulating material may melt, gas could be released, the
safety circuit may be damaged, and electrolytic solution may
be ignited, causing excessive heat, release of smoke,
explosion, and/or a fire.
• Do not use or store the battery pack near flames or a source
of high temperature (over 80°C/176°F) such as a stove. If the
plastic separator is damaged by heat, the battery pack will be
short-circuited internally, causing excessive heat, release of
smoke, explosion, and/or a fire.

OLYMPUS CAPSULE ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM
• Keep the battery pack away from water or any other liquids. If
the internal protective circuit becomes wet and/or damaged,
it may result in excessive heat, release of smoke, explosion,
and/or a fire.
• Do not recharge the battery pack near an open flame, or
under direct sunlight. The protective circuit is activated under
high heat, and may prevent proper recharging. If the
protection circuit fails, recharging may occur at abnormal
current and/or voltage, causing unexpected chemical
reactions within the battery pack, which may result in
excessive heat, release of smoke, explosion, and/or a fire.
• When recharging the battery pack, use only the provided
battery chargers (MAJ-1476) under the specified recharging
conditions. Recharging under conditions other than those
specified (temperature outside the specified range,
excessively high voltage/current, use of modified battery
charger, etc.) may cause abnormalities or overcharging,
causing unexpected chemical reactions within the battery
pack, which may result in excessive heat, release of smoke,
explosion, and/or a fire.
• Do not strike, pierce, drop, or step on the battery pack. A
ruptured or damaged battery pack may be short-circuited
internally, which could cause excessive heat, release of
smoke, explosion, and/or a fire.
• Do not apply strong shocks to the battery pack. They could
cause the battery pack to leak, generate excessive heat,
release smoke, explode, or ignite. If the protection circuit
fails, recharging may occur at abnormal current and/or
voltage, causing unexpected chemical reactions within the
battery pack, which may result in excessive heat, release of
smoke, explosion, and/or a fire.
• Do not use a battery pack that is visibly damaged or
deformed. Excessive heat, release of smoke, explosion,
and/or a fire may result.
• Use the battery pack only for this equipment. Using the
battery pack in other equipment could cause its performance
to deteriorate rapidly, or, depending on the equipment, cause
damage from overcurrent, excessive heat, release of smoke,
explosion, and/or a fire.

Important Information - Please Read Before Use
OLYMPUS CAPSULE ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM
• If a battery pack is leaking, take care that the liquid does not
come in contact with your skin or eyes. If liquid enters the
eye, do not rub it; immediately rinse with clean water, then
consult a physician. Failure to take appropriate action may
result in injury.
• If recharging is not completed after the given recharging time,
do not continue recharging. Excessive heat, release of
smoke, explosion, and/or a fire may result.
• Do not place the battery pack in a microwave or a
high-pressure cooker. Rapid heating or breaking of the
battery pack’s seal may result in excessive heat, release of
smoke, explosion, and/or a fire. In this case, the battery pack
may be damaged. Do not use this battery pack and replace it
with a new one.
• If you notice leaking or an abnormal odor from the battery
pack, immediately remove it from any heat source in the
vicinity. The electrolytic solution may ignite, causing release
of smoke, explosion, and/or a fire. Do not use this battery
pack, and replace it with a new one.
• If you notice an abnormal odor, excessive heat, change of
color, deformation, or other abnormalities during use,
recharging, or storage of the battery pack, immediately
remove it from the equipment or battery charger, and do not
use the battery pack. Continued use of the battery pack may
result in excessive heat, release of smoke, explosion, and/or
a fire. Use a new battery pack instead.
Avoid long term use or storage at temperatures exceeding
40°C/104°F. Battery pack performance may deteriorate
rapidly under these conditions.
• When disposing of the battery pack, follow the classification
and recycling guidelines provided by your country, local
government, or the facility.
• The life span of a battery pack is approximately 1 year from
the date of purchase, or 320 recharging cycles, whichever is
first. When the battery pack approaches its end-of-life, the
recorder unit will prompt for replacement. Order a new
battery pack and replace.
