What You See Is What You Get

End-facing cameras have an inherent limitation in imaging the inner curvature of the intestinal wall. In fact, the inability of these older capsule endoscopes to visualize interior landmarks such as the Ampulla of Vater is well documented.¹ Studies have shown that faster frame rates and a wider field of view do not overcome this limitation, which could account for missed lesions elsewhere in the small bowel.²

The value of end-facing cameras is further limited by tumbling, incomplete illumination and the inability to visualize behind mucosal folds. CapsoCam Plus overcomes these barriers by using four lateral, on-board cameras that capture high resolution 360º images of the small bowel, providing a detailed examination of the mucosal surface.

Break Free from Restrictive Receiver Equipment

CapsoCam Plus uses a large-capacity onboard storage system that completely eliminates the need for external receiver equipment. This wire-free onboard storage design makes capsule administration faster and easier, while eliminating the risks associated with radio frequency (RF) signals.

Benefits of the CapsoCam Plus wire-free design include:

• Zero capital investment or maintenance costs
• Not contraindicated for patients with implantable devices such as pacemakers, defibrillators, and insulin pumps
• Increased operational efficiency
• Reduced physician/nurse procedure room time
• More flexible scheduling
• More convenient for patients
