Given Imaging Ltd.DOC-0062-02 1Chapter OneIntroductionIntroductionThe M2A Patency System is a simple and easy to use device for verifying the patency of the GI tract.It may assist you in various situations such as the use of the M2A® Capsule in patients with suspected strictures. The M2A Patency System consists of the following components: • M2A Patency Capsule• M2A Patency Scanner • TesTag (interference tester)Once the patient ingests the M2A Patency Capsule it is propelled through the GI tract by normal peristalsis. If after 2 days (48–72 hours) the M2A Patency Scanner does not detect a signal retransmitted by the capsule, it indicates the following:• Patency of the GI tract • The M2A Patency Capsule was excreted naturallyThe M2A Patency Scanner is used to detect the presence of the M2A Patency Capsule.If after 2 days (48–72 hours) the M2A Patency Scanner detects the M2A Patency Capsule in the GI tract, this may indicate some problems with the patency of the GI tract. Eventually, the capsule dissolves into small fragments and is naturally excreted.

Given Imaging Ltd.DOC-0062-02 5Chapter TwoM2A® Patency System Overview OverviewM2A Patency CapsuleThe M2A Patency Capsule is an ingestible and dissolvable capsule comprised of a body that surrounds a small inner Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag. It is the same size of the M2A Capsule (26 mm long, 11 mm wide). The body is coated with an impermeable membrane, except for a small window on the Timer Plug.The Timer plug seals the capsule’s body. If the capsule is retained in the GI tract, the Timer Plug erodes, allowing the penetration of body fluids into the capsule and the dissolution of the body. The remaining fragments of the capsule can pass even small orifices. The tag retransmits an RF signal once it is excited by an appropriate RF signal from the Patency Scanner. The latter detects the signal that indicates the presence of the capsule in the GI tract.Timer PlugUncoated areaRFID tagDissolvablebody for fluid erosion

Given Imaging Ltd.6DOC-0062-02After ingestion, the M2A Patency Capsule is propelled by peristalsis through the gastrointestinal tract. Detection of an RF signal three days following ingestion means that the capsule is still retained in the GI tract. This may indicate a problem with the patency of the GI tract. In case the capsule is retained in the GI tract even longer, a disintegration process begins, to enable normal excretion of the resulting small fragments. The M2A Patency Capsule acts through the following two phases:Intact – This phase lasts for 80 hours. During this phase the capsule maintains its dimensions and rigidity while traveling through the various sections of the GI tract by peristalsis. The capsule withstands the various chemical and physical conditions of the GI tract. In most cases it is naturally excreted while still in the intact phase. Disintegration – This phase occurs only after the capsule stays in the GI tract more than 80 hours. During this phase, first the timer plug erodes, followed by the body. The remaining parts are excreted naturally. The M2A Patency Capsule is provided ready for ingestion in a hermetically sealed blister. Prior to ingestion, the physician tests the functionality of the capsule. The patient ingests the capsule immediately after testing. For specifications and technical parameters of the M2A Patency Capsule, refer to Specifications on page 14.

Given Imaging Ltd.DOC-0062-02 7M2A Patency ScannerThe M2A Patency Scanner is an external transmitting/detecting unit that transmits and detects RF signals. The M2A Patency Scanner is a hand-held, battery-operated device (eight 1.5v batteries) with a self-testing mechanism. The Patency Scanner includes a processor, transmitter, receiver, an audible indicator and LEDs for indicating operation and detection of RF signal. The Patency Scanner is used for transmitting the RF exciter signal to the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag and for detecting the retransmitted signal from the tag.ON ButtonBattery LEDPower ON LEDScanner HandlesDetection LED

Given Imaging Ltd.8DOC-0062-02TesTagThe TesTag is a plastic rod of 20 cm length. At one end it is equipped with an RFID tag similar to the one in the M2A Patency Capsules, at the other end a suction cap is attached.The TesTag is used to verify the detection range of the Patency Scanner in a given environment.Caution!Operating the Patency Scanner in the proximity of the following items might reduce the Scanner’s range: •Operating monitors—Use the Scanner at least 5 meters away from any operating monitors (Monitors in adjacent rooms should be turned off.).•Large metallic objects—Use the Scanner at least 30 cm away from large metallic objects.•Electronic or magnetic cards/badges and remote controls—Remove and put aside, at least 1 meter away, any electronic or magnetic cards/badges and remote controls which may contain RFID tags. The TesTag tests the interference of the above within a given environmment, and thus enables to select and validate the proper working environment for the M2A Patency Scanner. A TesTag is supplied with each 10-Pak of M2A Patency Capsules.

Given Imaging Ltd.DOC-0062-02 9M2A Patency Scanner OperationWhen not in use, the Scanner is stored hanging on a hook installed in your office. For further information, refer to Specifications on page 14.To turn on the Scanner, press the ON button. A self-test mechanism checks the functionality of the Scanner. The Power ON LED indicates that the Scanner is ready for use. The Scanner is ON for 30 seconds, during which it transmits and receives signals. The Scanner turns off automatically after 30 seconds, unless you press the button again, in which case a new cycle of 30 seconds begins. In case you turn the Scanner on and its self-test mechanism detects a malfunction, the Power ON LED blinks in red for a few seconds and the Scanner automatically turns off. If the batteries are low, the Battery LED blinks shortly and the Scanner automatically turns off. In this case, change the batteries as described on page 23.Attach the TesTag to the indicated spot and press the ON button again. If the Scanner beeps, the environment is appropriate for the Scanner’s operation and you can proceed using it in this environment. If the Scanner does not beep, repeat the test at a different location, until you find a location that does not interfere with the proper functioning of the Scanner. Alternatively, you can turn off all monitors within a 5 meters radius.This test must be performed each time before using the Scanner to detect the presence of an M2A Patency Capsule.For specifications and technical parameters of the M2A Patency Scanner, refer to Specifications on page 15.

Given Imaging Ltd.DOC-0062-02 19Chapter FourUsing the M2A® Patency SystemOverviewOn the first day of the M2A Patency Examination, the patient ingests the M2A Patency Capsule. Two days later (48–72 hours), the patient returns to the clinic to check whether or not the M2A Patency Capsule was retained. If the Scanner does not detect the Capsule, the GI tract is patent. If the capsule is retained and the Scanner detects it, the physician may consider performing a fluoroscopy or X-ray the same day, in order to locate the capsule. Eventually, the capsule disintegrates into small fragments and is naturally excreted.

Given Imaging Ltd.20 DOC-0062-02The M2A Patency Examination includes the following:• Preparing the patient• Preparing the system components• Detection/functionality test• Dispensing the capsule• Releasing the patient• Interference testing • Scanning of the abdominal area with the ScannerPreparing the PatientOnce it is decided that the patient should undergo M2A Patency Examination, verify that the patient does not have any contraindications and obtain the patient’s informed consent. Inform the patient that the M2A Patency examination involves the following:• Ingesting the M2A Patency Capsule. The capsule will pass naturally through the patient’s digestive system.• Recording the time of bowel movements following the ingestion of the M2A Patency Capsule.• Returning to your office after 2 days (48–72 hours) to check whether capsule was excreted. • If required, undergoing an X-ray or fluoroscopy to detect the location of the M2A Patency Capsule or RFID tag.Inform the patient in writing and verbally that the following is required to achieve accurate results:A week before M2A Patency Examination• During check-in, the patient will be asked about the pattern of his/her bowel movements. Therefore, it is important to make note of the frequency of the bowel movements about a week before the examination.• The patient must prepare a list of currently taken medication.• After lunch one day before the examination, the patient must start a liquid diet prescribed by the physician. From 10 p.m. on, the patient is to abstain from eating or drinking except for necessary medication with a sip of water.

Given Imaging Ltd.DOC-0062-02 21• The patient is expected to abstain from smoking 24 hours before the examination.The day of M2A Patency Examination• The patient should not take any medication as of two hours before the examination.• When arriving at the clinic, the patient is asked to give his/her informed consent and to go through the patient check-in procedure.After Ingestion• The patient may continue with his/her regular eating habits. • The patient must immediately contact the physician’s office, if any abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting occur.• The patient must fill in the Bowel Movement Activity Form in the Patient Instructions booklet until instructed by the physician to discontinue due to capsule excretion. • After 2 days (48–72 hours), the patient returns to the office to check whether the M2A Patency Capsule was excreted.• Undergoing an MRI while the capsule is inside the patient’s body may result in serious damage to the intestinal tract or abdominal cavity. If the excretion of the M2A Patency Capsule was not positively verified, the patient must contact the physician for evaluation and possible abdominal X-ray before undergoing an MRI examination. NoteBefore the patient leaves the clinic, verify that:• the ingestion was smooth and the coating of the M2A Patency Capsule was not compromised by the patient’s teeth• the patient has given his/her informed consent • the patient has the Patient Instructions and a new appointment for 2 days (48–72 hours) later.
