The PillCam lets patients complete the procedure at a hospital, a clinic or even during a telehealth appointment, according to a Dec. 12 press release.
The kit is designed to visualize the small-bowel mucosa in adult patients, aid in the detection and monitoring of conditions such as Crohn’s disease, obscure gastrointestinal bleeding and iron-deficiency anemia when these abnormalities are not identified through traditional upper or lower endoscopy.
The technology features a link device that replaces traditional data recorders in the form of a wearable, single-use device that efficiently stores images transmitted by the capsule and alerts patients via haptic vibrations, audible signals and LED lights when their procedure is complete.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
