PillCam Agile Patency Scanner by Given Imaging

The Given Imaging PillCam Agile Patency Scanner is a specialized, handheld device designed to non-invasively verify the patency of the gastrointestinal tract. Its core function is to detect the presence of the Agile Patency Capsule before a patient proceeds with a full PillCam video capsule endoscopy procedure.

By confirming that the dissolvable Agile capsule has successfully passed through the GI tract, clinicians can move forward with diagnostic imaging with greater confidence. This crucial pre-procedure check helps minimize the risk of capsule retention in patients who may have unknown strictures or obstructions.

• Detection Technology: Employs a low-frequency radio signal to scan for the RFID tag embedded within the Agile Patency Capsule.
• Clinical Workflow: Used as an essential safety-check tool in gastroenterology and endoscopy departments performing PillCam procedures.
• Operation: Provides the operator with clear, straightforward feedback to confirm whether the capsule is still detected within the patient's body.

For any clinical setting utilizing the PillCam system, this scanner is an indispensable component for upholding patient safety protocols and ensuring procedural success.
