Thank you for purchasing the PillCam sensor belt for improved
convenience and comfort in PillCam Capsule Endoscopy.

The PillCam sensor belt is simple to use for both care providers and
patients:
•
Minimal preparation is required because the sensor belt
is worn over clothing, with no need for the patient to
undress or attach anything directly to skin.
•
The easy-fasten straps make attachment and removal
effortless. Simply fasten the sensor belt and connect it to
the PillCam recorder DR3, which is worn in the recorder
pouch with shoulder strap.
•
After the procedure, the disposable sleeve and strap can
be removed and thrown away, so that the sensor belt can
be quickly and easily prepared for the next procedure.
The sensor belt is used with PillCam recorder DR3 in the recorder
pouch with shoulder strap.
!
Warning
• Do not use the sensor belt on patients with a
BMI greater than 43.3.
•

Localization tracing is not available in RAPID
videos when the sensor belt is used.

Appropriate Patient Clothing
When using the sensor belt, the patient must wear an upper garment
of thin, natural fiber cloth that is long enough to reach at least to hip
level and will not ride up above the sensor belt.
!
Caution
The sensor belt must not be worn over
synthetic or slippery fabric (such as nylon or
silk).
Securing the Sensor Belt on the Patient
1.
While holding the sensor belt at patient’s waist level, place the
downlink loop over the patient’s head so that it hangs from the
left shoulder.
2.
Adjust the downlink loop to remove excess cable so that it fits
closely to the patient’s body. There is a clip on the downlink
loop that keeps the excess cable tidy and secure.
!
Caution
•
•
Do not allow the sensor belt to hang from the
downlink loop.
Do not forcibly bend the downlink loop in any
way.

3.
Center the sensor belt on the patient’s waist. Tighten the straps
on the sides so that the sensor belt will not shift during the
examination. Make sure that the blue lines next to the plastic
buckles are visible.

Note:
•
•
•
When securing the sensor belt, make sure that
the fabric is not folded beneath the front portion
of the sensor belt.
Make sure that nothing other than a single thin
layer of fabric is between the sensor belt and
the abdomen. (Another layer of clothing may be
worn over the sensor belt as long as the sensor
belt connecting wire can be attached to the
PillCam recorder.)
To avoid pulling the sensor belt out of position,
do not attach anything to it, or hang anything
from it.
4.
Secure the strap with the double-sided Velcro piece.
5.
Cut off any excess strap length.

belt.
Removing the Sensor Belt

Cleaning the Sensor Belt
1.
Unzip the sensor belt cover and remove the sensor belt insert.
!
2.
Note:
Given Imaging recommends using a new
disposable sleeve and strap for each
procedure so that the belt can be quickly and
easily prepared for the next procedure.
However, if you choose to use the sensor belt
without the disposable sleeve (with the original
strap instead), you can clean it as described
below.
Caution
Do not open the sensor belt insert or tamper
with the sensors located inside of it. The
sensor belt insert should only be opened by a
Given Imaging representative.
To clean and disinfect the surface of the sensor belt and the
sensor belt insert, wipe external surfaces gently with alcohol
(ethyl or isopropyl (IPA) alcohol, up to 70%). See Cleaning
instructions on page 8.
