Digestive endoscopy capsule PillCam™ SB 3

PillCam™ SB 3 capsule endoscopy system is the ingestible camera in a capsule that allows for visualization of the small bowel. 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. For twenty 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. The PillCam™ SB 3 system optimizes tissue coverage with the most advanced capsule endoscopy technology. Capture image rate changes from 2 to 6 fps 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
