Technology

Optimize tissue coverage with innovative technology

Adaptive frame rate technology optimizes tissue coverage, giving you greater confidence in the exam.

  • Capsule image rate changes from 4fps to 35fps when the system detects a change in the image, or when the capsule is in motion
  • Increased frame rate flexibility maximizes mucosa coverage and optimizes video length while also conserving battery energy
  • Advanced optics supported by three lenses
  • Extra wide 172° angle of view (344° total) allows for maximum tissue coverage
  • Capsule transmits images to a recorder that the patient wears on a belt, ensuring reliable, accurate data collection

Includes full reading training to facilitate ease-of-use and ensure your proficiency with the technology.
