PillCam™ Crohn’s System

The PillCam™ Crohn’s system enables you to efficiently assess your patient’s Crohn’s disease and how well it is responding to treatment.

• Exclusive Adaptive Frame Rate (AFR) technology, which adjusts the rate of image capture to 4 or 35 FPS, depending on the movement speed
• The PillCam™ Crohn's capsule gives you a 336-degree view via two camera heads (168° per head), which helps to visualize both the small bowel and colonic mucosa
• A predicate PillCam™ CE device has shown the ability to detect subtle mucosal lesions ([FOOTNOTE=Dionisio et al.

• No sedation or radiation required
• The PillCam™ Crohn’s system may reduce the number of invasive procedures, which may help to increase your patients’ satisfaction
