Apatient fasts for 10 hours prior to the exam, then swallows the PillCam SB with a sip of water. Images and data are acquired as the PillCam SB Capsule passes through the digestive system over an 8 hour period. This information is then transmitted via an array of sensors to the DataRecorder™ affixed to a belt worn around the patient’s waist.
