Description

Picture the power of PillCam™ — the go-to for capsule endoscopy

The PillCam™ SB 3 capsule endoscopy system is a minimally invasive ingestible camera in a capsule that allows visualization of the small bowel. PillCam™ is used in a clinic or hospital environment and administered by a clinician or staff. Patients are equipped with a small recording device and ingest a capsule the size of a multi-vitamin, which they pass and don’t need to collect.

Features

The evolution of the PillCam™ system

For 20 years, the PillCam™ capsule endoscopy system has been a leader in providing physicians with tools that may help them visualize and monitor lesions. These lesions may indicate or be a source of conditions such as Crohn’s disease, obscure bleeding, or iron deficiency anemia not detected by upper and lower endoscopy.

PillCam™ capsule endoscopy technology

Adaptive frame rate technology

The PillCam™ SB 3 system optimizes tissue coverage with advanced capsule endoscopy technology.

  • Capture image rate changes from two to six frames per second when the system determines the capsule is moving more quickly.1
  • Increased frame rate flexibility maximizes mucosa coverage and supports tissue acquisition that is uniquely suited to each patient’s motility.2
  • High-quality imaging supports greater diagnostic confidence. In one survey, 100% of GIs ranked the image sharpness, natural tissue colors, balanced illumination, and overall image quality provided by the PillCam™ SB 3 system higher than that of the previous generation.2
  • Proprietary software algorithms enable smarter video compilation that is approximately 40% more efficient than the PillCam™ SB 2 system.3
