The link to the future of capsule endoscopy

The PillCam™ Genius SB capsule endoscopy kit is an innovative solution that increases flexibility and introduces more freedom to capsule endoscopy.

Designed to streamline procedures — our single-use capsule and link device enable ingestion from either the clinic or the comfort of the patient’s own home. After the procedure, the link device can simply be returned in person or through a common shipping service.1 The PillCam™ Genius SB capsule endoscopy kit brings a new freedom for physicians and patients by being able to perform capsule endoscopy when it is needed most.

The innovation in PillCamTM

The PillCam™ Genius SB Kit features the PillCam™ Genius link device, the first wearable data recorder used for capsule endoscopy. The PillCam™ Genius link device is a single-use device intended for storing images received from the PillCam™ Genius SB capsule, sending commands to the PillCam™ Genius SB capsule, and providing notifications to the patient while adhered to the patient’s body.1

With the PillCam™ Genius SB capsule endoscopy kit, you are always ready for the next patient.

With the introduction of the link device, urgent cases or unreturned recorders will no longer interrupt scheduled capsule procedures because of hardware constraints.

The single-use PillCam™ Genius SB capsule endoscopy kit removes the burden of capital management

Additionally, the PillCam™ software 9.7 works with the PillCam™ Genius SB capsule endoscopy kit and the PillCam™ SB3 system, allowing you to continue to use your existing equipment.2

Expand your capsule program’s reach, simply.

The days of your practice being limited on offering capsule endoscopy at select clinics are a thing of the past. With the PillCam™ Genius SB system there is a much smaller start-up requirement than previous versions of PillCam™ capsule, which required capital equipment such as recorders and docking stations.

By offering the PillCam™ Genius SB capsule endoscopy kit at more sites or incorporating at-home or hybrid ingestions, you can potentially alleviate a patient’s commute burden. This could lead to fewer cancelled or rescheduled procedures.

Healthcare is on the move, and capsule endoscopy is no different.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, patients expect flexibility in where and how they receive care. The PillCam™ Genius SB capsule endoscopy kit allows new flexibility to capsule endoscopy by making both the traditional facility-based ingestion and the at-home ingestion convenient. The design of the kit and link device is purpose-built to facilitate at-home ingestions during a telehealth appointment for the appropriate patient.1

A powerful and convenient combination:
