  • SYSTEM AND METHOD OF TETHERLESS INSUFFLATION IN COLON CAPSULE ENDOSCOPY
    Publication number: 20140081169
    Abstract: A system and method of wireless controlled CO2 insufflation for use in colon capsule endoscopy. The system includes a device to inflate the colon through the use of a swallowable capsule including a first compound and a second compound for generating a biocompatible chemical reaction that provides a level of insufflation to enhance visualization and to allow for magnetic locomotion within the colon. The chemical reaction achieves relevant colon insufflation (enough to enable diagnostic relevance) by producing CO2 (carbon dioxide).
