PillCam Platform
2Chapter 1
Welcome to the PillCam Platform
The PillCam Platform enables minimally invasive visualization of the gastrointestinal tract.
The system consists of:
•PillCam video capsules—PillCam SB, PillCam ESO, and PillCam COLON, that acquire
pictures of the gastrointestinal tract and transmits them to the DataRecorder
•DataRecorder, which stores the images collected during the examination for subsequent video
creation with the full RAPID software
•RAPID software, which processes and transforms the raw image data into a conveniently
viewable RAPID video
PillCam Video Capsule
PillCam video capsules are video cameras for imaging the intestinal tract. The capsules, about the
size of a large vitamin pill, are equipped with tiny battery, transmitters with antenna, and Light
Emitting Diodes (LEDs) for each video camera head, all encapsulated in a biocompatible plastic
casing.
There are three PillCam video capsule types:
•PillCam SB capsules are used for examination of the small bowel.
•PillCam ESO capsules are used for examination of the esophagus.
•PillCam COLON capsules are used for examination of the colon.
PillCam SB capsules contain one video camera while the PillCam ESO and PillCam COLON
capsules each contain two video cameras.
After activation and ingestion, the PillCam video capsule is propelled by peristalsis through the
gastrointestinal tract. The video cameras positioned behind a clear plastic dome acquire images
while the PillCam video capsule travels along the patient's gastrointestinal tract. The transmitter
sends images to the DataRecorder for storage.
For specification and technical parameters of the PillCam video capsules, see System
Specifications on page 32. For Indications and Contraindications, see chapter two of Book 2:
Peforming Capsule Endoscopy.
PillCam SB capsules
PillCam ESO capsules
PillCam COLON capsule
Introduction
Chapter 1 3
Handling the PillCam Video Capsule
Each PillCam video capsule comes in its own box that enables the handling of the capsule until
ingestion. A magnet close to the capsule in the box keeps it inactive until removal from the box.
The capsule is active immediately after removal from the box.
To ensure the capsule remains inactive, it must be in the box. PillCam video capsules are packed
at Given Imaging Ltd. in a controlled process, ensuring the capsule is only activated after
removal from its box.
Caution
!
• Removal of a PillCam video capsule from its box activates it.
• Keep in the box until use.
• Store the capsules only in packaging supplied with the product.
• Do not use a PillCam video capsule if packaging is damaged.
DataRecorders
The DataRecorder is a compact battery-operated unit worn by the patient during the
examination. It receives and stores the image data transmitted by the PillCam capsule. There are
two models currently available: DataRecorder 2 and DataRecorder 3.
DataRecorder 2
The DataRecorder 2 consists of a receiver, a processor module, and a memory device for storing
the data transmitted by the PillCam video capsule.
The standard DataRecorder 2 Kit includes the following items:
•DataRecorder 2
•Standard RecorderBelt
•Two RecorderBelt extensions
•Pouch + suspenders
•Li-Ion battery pack
•DataRecorder 2 Cradle and adaptor
•8-lead and 3-lead SensorArray
•DataRecorder 2 Carrying case
PillCam Platform
4Chapter 1
The battery of the DataRecorder 2 is charged in the cradle either with its adaptor or while inside
the DataRecorder 2.
The DataRecorder 2 is ready for operation when its battery is charged and the SensorArray is
connected. When the DataRecorder 2 is on, it starts recording as soon as a signal is received from
any PillCam video capsule. When the capsule LED blinks, the DataRecorder 2 is receiving data.
When the signal from the PillCam video capsule is too weak, the LED does not blink.
DataRecorder 2 Automatic Shutdown
After the DataRecorder 2 has been initialized with patient data, it goes into a standby mode when
removed from its cradle and starts recording as soon as a signal is received from any PillCam
video capsule. If no signal is received, the DataRecorder automatically shuts down after 90
minutes. This feature ensures that the DataRecorder 2 preserves sufficient battery power to record
a complete study.

DataRecorder 2 Cradle
The DataRecorder 2 Cradle is used to charge the DataRecorder 2 or to charge a spare battery
externally. It is also used to discharge the battery before starting the recharge, when the Cradle
detects that the battery needs refreshing (i.e., the battery gauge needs calibration). Thus
occasionally, when inserted into the cradle, before charging starts, the Cradle may discharge first
the battery and then start recharging.
The cradle also connects the DataRecorder 2 to the computer for performing patient check-in and
creating a video.The green LED on the cradle indicates that the DataRecorder 2 is charged and
ready for use.
•The red LED, when lit continuously, indicates a defective battery.
•The red LED, when blinking, indicates that there is a problem with the cradle.
Warning
Never connect the DataRecorder 2 to the SensorArray while the DataRecorder
2 is in its cradle.
Cradle Connections
There are four connections on the back panel of the cradle. Only two of them are used with
standard operation of the cradle: the power connector and the USB cable connection.
Note
When connecting more than one DataRecorder 2 to the computer, it is
recommended to use a USB-powered hub.
The D-type connector and Auxiliary mains socket-outlet are for service use only.

Technical Description
Chapter 5 37
•PillCam video capsules and DataRecorder should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment and that if adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the equipment or system should be
observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
•PillCam video capsules and DataRecorder may be interfered with by other equipment, even if
that other equipment complies with CISPR emission requirements.
•Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack. The battery pack is equipped with built-in
safety/protection features. Should these features be disabled, the battery pack can leak acid,
overheat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite.
•Do not use or leave the battery pack of the DataRecorder near a heat source such as a fire or a
heater (+80°C or higher). If the resin separator should be damaged owing to overheating,
internal short-circuiting may occur to the battery pack, possibly leading to acid leakage, smoke
emission, bursting and/or ignition of the battery pack.
•Do not immerse the battery pack in water or seawater and do not allow it to get wet.
Otherwise, the protective features in it can be damaged, it can be charged with extremely high
current and voltage, abnormal chemical reactions may occur in it, possibly leading to acid
leakage, smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition.
•Do not recharge the battery pack near fire or in extremely hot weather. Otherwise, hot
temperatures can trigger its built-in protective features, inhibiting recharging, or can damage
the built-in protective features, causing it to be charged with an extremely high current and
voltage and, as a result, abnormal chemical reactions can occur in it, possibly leading to acid
leakage, overheating, smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition.
•To recharge the battery pack, use the DataRecorder cradle and observe the recharging
conditions. A recharging operation under non-conforming recharging conditions (higher
temperature and larger voltage/current than specified, modified battery charger, etc.) can cause
the battery pack to be overcharged, or charged with extremely high current, abnormal
chemical reaction can occur in it, possibly leading to acid leakage, overheating, smoke
emission, bursting and/or ignition.
•Do not pierce the battery pack with a nail or other sharp objects, strike it with a hammer, or
step on it. Otherwise, the battery pack will become damaged and deformed, internal short-
circuiting can occur, possibly leading to acid leakage, overheating, smoke emission, bursting
and/or ignition.
•Do not strike or throw the battery pack. The impact might cause leakage, overheating, smoke
emission, bursting and/or ignition. Also, if the protective feature in it becomes damaged, it
could become charged with an extremely high current and voltage, abnormal chemical
reactions can occur, which can lead to acid leakage, overheating smoke emission, bursting
and/or ignition.
•Do not use an apparently damaged or deformed battery pack. Otherwise, acid leakage,
overheating, smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition of the battery pack may occur.
•If the battery pack leaks and the electrolyte gets into the eyes, do not rub them. Instead, rinse
the eyes with clean running water and immediately seek medical attention. Otherwise, eye
injury may result.
•If recharging operation fails to complete even when a specified recharging time has elapsed,
immediately stop further recharging. Otherwise, acid leakage, overheating, smoke emission,
bursting and/or ignition can occur.
•Do not put the battery pack into a microwave oven or pressurized container. Rapid heating or
disrupted sealing can lead to acid leakage, overheating, smoke emission, bursting and/or
ignition.
PillCam Platform
38 Chapter 5
•If the battery pack leaks or gives off a bad odor, remove it from any exposed flame. Otherwise,
the leaking electrolyte may catch fire and the battery pack may emit smoke, burst or ignite.
•If the battery pack gives off an odor, generates heat, becomes discolored or deformed, or in any
way appears abnormal during use, recharging or storage, immediately remove it from the
equipment or cradle and stop using it. Otherwise, the problematic battery pack can develop acid
leakage, overheating, smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition.
•The use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those supplied or approved by Given
Imaging as replacement parts for internal DataRecorder components, may result in increased
emissions or decreased immunity of the PillCam Platform.
Cautions
•Do not use or subject the battery pack to intense sunlight or hot temperatures such as in a car in
hot weather. Otherwise, acid leakage, overheating and/or smoke emission can occur. Also, its
guaranteed performance will be lost and/or its service life will be shortened.
•The battery pack incorporates built-in safety devices. Do not use it in a location where static
electricity (greater than the manufacturer’s guarantee) may be present. Otherwise, the safety
devices can be damaged, possibly leading to acid leakage, overheating, smoke emission,
bursting and/or ignition.
•The guaranteed recharging temperature range is 0°C to +45°C. A recharging operation outside
this temperature range can lead to acid leakage and/or overheating of the battery pack and may
cause damage to it.
•If acid leaking from the battery pack comes into contact with your skin or clothing, immediately
wash it away with running water. Otherwise, skin inflammation can occur.
•For recharging procedures, refer to DataRecorder 3 on page 66.
•If you find rust, a bad odor, overheating and/or other irregularities when using the battery pack
for the first time, return it to your supplier or vendor.

SensorBelt Cleaning
The SensorBelt may be machine washed after removal of the SensorBelt Insert.
Follow instructions on the care label and use a mild detergent.
The surface of the SensorBelt may be wiped with any commonly used disinfectant.
The SensortBelt Insert may be wiped gently with alcohol (up to 70%).
SensorArray Cleaning
For mild cleaning (dirt, sweat), wipe the sensors gently with alcohol (up to 70%). The alcohol
will not remove the adhesive. Since alcohol is a polar solvent, do not use lavishly, and allow to
dry for 20 minutes.
To remove adhesive from the SensorArray (not from the human body), use White Benzene.
Note
White Benzene MUST be used in a ventilated area with all precautions
defined in the manufacturer’s instructions.
Alternatively, use one of the following medical adhesive removers to remove adhesive:
• B-508 Secure Solvent
• B-202 Hollister Solvent
• B-206 Detachol Adhesive Remover
Use all precautions as defined by the manufacturer.
