22 OLYMPUS CAPSULE ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM SYSTEM MANUAL
• Patients who are currently taking medication must not take
any medication during the period beginning two hours before
and ending two hours after the beginning of the examination.
If the medication must be taken on a set schedule, instruct
the patient to consult the prescribing physician about shifting
the schedule. Failure to follow instructions may interfere with
the examination.
• Instruct the patient not to turn the recorder unit’s power OFF,
remove the battery pack from the recorder unit, disconnect
the antenna unit, nor remove the antenna harness during the
examination. Failure to follow instructions may interfere with
the examination.
• During the examination, the patient puts on the antenna harness
from the clothes of the thin nature material. In consideration of
the examination situation, please appoint the clothes of the patient
on the examination day before.
• During the examination of the capsule endoscope, stay away
from generators of strong electromagnetic fields (such as
MRI equipment, amateur-radio, etc.) and avoid pointing
radio-transmitting devices such as keyless entry at the
antenna leads. Otherwise, images may not be taken due to
radio interference. As the capsule endoscope contains a
radio transmitter, you cannot take an airplane until the
examination is completed.
• Instruct the patient to keep the recorder unit, and the antenna unit,
from water, alcohol, and any other liquids. Liquids entering these components may
damage them and/or result in system failure.
• Instruct the patient to avoid using the recorder unit at or
below 0°C (32°F). Failure to follow instructions may cause
the battery pack to deteriorate rapidly, resulting in the
examination ending prematurely.
• Provide the physician’s emergency contact number for the
patient on the “Caution for Capsule Endoscopy Patient”
packed with the capsule endoscope system set MAJ-Y0136 (MAJ-Y0136).
