The PillCam Patency System is an accessory to the PillCam video capsule and is intended to verify adequate patency of the gastrointestinal tract prior to administration of the PillCam video capsule in patients with known or suspected strictures. The PillCam Patency capsule should only be used within the specified patient age range based on the patient age of the indicated video capsule system. Therefore, the PillCam Patency System is intended to be used: - prior to PillCam SB capsule in adults and children from 2 years of age, or - prior to PillCam UGI, COLON, and Crohn's capsules in adults

The PillCam Patency System is an accessory to the PillCam capsule endoscopy (CE) System and it is used for verifying the patency of the Gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The PillCam Patency System consists of the following components; The PillCam Patency capsule, the Patency scanner and TesTag (interference tester). The Patency capsule is an ingestible and dissolvable capsule, similar in size to the PillCam CE. It is comprised of a body that surrounds a small Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag. The body is coated with an impermeable membrane, except for two small windows that are plugged by the Timer Plugs. The Timer plugs seal the capsule's body. If the Patency capsule is excreted structurally whole, then this confirms patency of the GI tract of the patient for objects similar in size to the capsule. However, if the capsule is retained in the GI tract, the Timer Plugs erode, allowing the penetration of body fluids into the capsule and the dissolution of the capsule's body. The remaining fragments of the capsule can pass even small orifices. The Patency scanner may be utilized to detect RF signals from the RFID tag, to verify the PillCam Patency capsule presence in the body. The only difference between the PillCam Patency System and the predicate device is the proposed labeling modification, to allow the use of the existing Patency capsule with the PillCam capsules that are slightly longer (PillCam COLON, Crohn's and UGI capsules). The intention of the proposed change is to offer physicians a clinical tool to evaluate the suitability of patients for CE, as an alternative to magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) or Computed Tomography (CT) which are already used in practice for this purpose.

SB Indications for Use: The Given PillCam® Platform with the PillCam® SB Capsules is intended for visualization of the small bowel mucosa. It may be used as a tool in the detection of abnormalities of the small bowel in adults and children from two years of age. The Suspected Blood Indicator (SBI) feature is intended to mark frames of the video suspected of containing blood or red areas. AGILE Indications for Use: The Given® AGILE Patency System is an accessory to the PillCam video capsule and is intended to verify adequate patency of the gastrointestinal tract prior to administration of the PillCam video capsule in patients with known or suspected strictures in adults and children from two years of age.

The Given PillCam® Platform is comprised of three main subsystems; (1) the ingestible PillCam capsule, (2) the RAPID® software, and (3) the Given® Workstation and Hardware. 1. Ingestible PillCam Capsule The disposable, ingestible PillCam Capsule is designed to acquire video images during the natural propulsion through the GI tract. The capsule transmits the acquired images via a RF communication channel to the DataRecorder located outside the body. 2. RAPID Software The RAPID Software is a software application that is utilized to process, analyze, store, and view the acquired images collected from the DataRecorder to create a RAPID video of the images. The software also includes a reporting function to create detailed clinical reports, in-service training videos, and patient instruction forms. 3. Given Workstation and Hardware The Workstation is a modified standard personal computer that is the operational platform for the RAPID software. The DataRecorder is an external receiving/recording unit that receives acquired images from the capsule. The SensorArray receives data from the PillCam capsule and transfers the data to the DataRecorder. The RAPID Real Time is a handheld device that allows for real-time viewing of acquired images through the GI tract. Other accessories include a flat panel LCD monitor, a high-capacity mass storage device, and a high-capacity USB portable storage device. The Given Agile Patency System is designed to determine which patients with known or suspected intestinal strictures can safely ingest a PillCam video capsule. The system consists of an ingestible and dissolvable capsule that is the same size as the PillCam SB capsule, and an external scanner.

The Given® Diagnostic System with the PillCam™ ESO2 Capsule is intended for visualization of the esophageal mucosa

The Given® Diagnostic System is comprised of three subsystems: PillCam™ Capsule (SB, ESO), Data Recorder Set, and RAPID® Workstation or RAPID® Software. The modifications to the Given® Diagnostic System, which are subject of this Special 510(k) is the addition of a new model of esophageal capsule, the PillCam™ ESO2 Capsule, and the addition of an alternative ingestion procedure, the simplified ingestion procedure (SIP) for the esophageal capsules.

The Given® Diagnostic System is comprised of three subsystems-PillCam™ Capsule (ESO or SB), Data Recorder Set, and RAPID® Workstation. The RAPIDAccess optional accessory system, which is the subject of this Special 510(k) application, is designed to facilitate access to PillCam Capsule Endoscopy by allowing the performance of CE procedure without requiring the use of a full Given® Diagnostic System. It comes in two versions: RAPIDAccess RT (Real-Time), which is a standalone accessory that also allows monitoring the advancement of the capsule through the GI tract, and RAPID Access SW (software application).

The Given® Diagnostic System is comprised of three subsystems: PillCam™ Capsule (ESO or SB), Data Recorder Set, and RAPID® Workstation. The PillCam™ Capsules are wireless, disposable capsules designed to glide smoothly through the GI tract. During its passage, the capsule transmits digital data that is captured by receiving antennas attached to the patient's body. The images are stored in the DataRecorder that is connected to the receiving antennas and is worn on a belt around the waist of the patient. When the test is over, the antennas and recorder are removed from the patient's body. The images from the recorder are downloaded to the RAPID® Workstation for processing and viewing by the physician. A new RAPID® software application, RAPID® 4, for the RAPID® Workstation is the subject of this submission.
