Overview

More Detail. More Efficiency. More Confidence to Treat Your Patients.*([FOOTNOTE=Indications for use in the PillCam™ Capsule Endoscopy User Manual (DOC-2928-02), page 11],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]),([FOOTNOTE=RD-30 PillCam™ SB 3 system. Data on file, January 15, 2013.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]),([FOOTNOTE=RD-304 Clinical Validation Study comparing PillCam™ SB 3 system to PillCam™ SB 2 system, 2012. Data on file, January 24, 2013.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]) 

The PillCam™ SB 3 system allows for direct visualisation of the small bowel, supporting confidence when monitoring lesions3 that may be related to Crohn’s disease, obscure bleeding, or iron deficiency anaemia. The system features advanced optics and imaging designed to deliver exceptional images of the mucosa.

This system includes innovative features like adaptive frame rate technology, which supports image acquisition that is uniquely suited to each patient's motility, as well as the tools you need to record and interpret study results. The software contains our most advanced algorithms, providing you with the tools you need to efficiently read and interpret study results.

Adaptive Frame Rate Technology

The PillCam™ SB 3 system improves tissue coverage with the most advanced capsule endoscopy technology.

  • Capture image rate changes from 2 to 6 fps when the system determines the capsule is moving more quickly.
  • Increased frame rate flexibility maximises mucosa coverage and supports tissue acquisition that is uniquely suited to each patient’s motility.
  • High-quality imaging supports greater diagnostic confidence—In one survey, 100% of GIs ranked the image sharpness, natural tissue colours, balanced illumination, and overall image quality provided by the PillCam™ SB 3 system higher than that of the previous generation.3
  • Proprietary software algorithms enable smarter video compilation that is 40% more efficient than the PillCam™ SB 2 system.2
