For evaluation of colonic transit in adult and pediatic patients (at least 2 years old) with chronic constipation and used to aid in differentiating slow and normal transit constipation.

The device is intended to be used for evaluation of colonic transit time in patients with chronic constipation and used to aid in differentiating slow and normal transit constipation in adults and pediatric patients (at least 2 years old). Ten (10) radiopaque markers per day are swallowed for six consecutive days. On day seven an abdominal radiograph is taken. Based on the number of retained markers and the position in colonic transit time is calculated and compared to reference values. Both total transit and segmental transit dysfunction in the colon can be evaluated with the device. By dividing the particle dose on day six by taking five (5) markers in the morning and five (5) markers in the evening, the whole range of transit times (slow, normal, rapid) transit can be measured from the radiograph. The device is a convenience package of radiopaque markers (22% Barium Sulphate, 78% Elastosil® R 401/60 Silicone rubber) placed in vegetarian capsules from cellulose (HPMC, Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose), intended for single patient use. The dimension of the markers is 2x4.5mm (ring-formed markers) and 6x2mm (tube-formed markers). The capsules are packed in a blister pack is placed inside a folding box.
