today announced the first-ever patient procedure ingestion using its next-generation PillCam Genius SB capsule endoscopy kit.

今天宣布首次使用下一代PillCam Genius SB胶囊内窥镜检查试剂盒进行患者程序摄入。

The University of Miami Health System (UHealth)HeH successfully performed the first ingestion of the newest PillCam offering. Medtronic won FDA clearance for this enhanced offering in May.

PillCam capsule endoscopy has been in use for more than 20 years. Medtronic won FDA clearance for the PillCam Small Bowel (SB) 3 system for remote endoscopy procedures in late 2021. The technology is delivered straight to a patient and, via a telehealth appointment, a provider guides the patient through the remote procedure..

PillCam胶囊内窥镜检查已经使用了20多年。2021年末，美敦力获得FDA批准用于远程内窥镜检查程序的PillCam小肠（SB）3系统。该技术直接交付给患者，并通过远程医疗预约，提供者引导患者完成远程手术。。

The PillCam Genius SB kit offers flexibility through simplified equipment management. It enables the procedure to take place at a hospital, clinic or the home. Medtronic designed it specifically to visualize the small bowel mucosa in adult patients. It aids in the detection and monitoring of conditions like Crohn’s disease, obscure gastrointestinal bleeding and iron deficiency anemia.

PillCam Genius SB套件通过简化的设备管理提供了灵活性。它可以在医院、诊所或家中进行手术。美敦力专门设计用于观察成年患者的小肠粘膜。它有助于检测和监测克罗恩病，不明原因的胃肠道出血和缺铁性贫血等疾病。

It’s especially useful when these abnormalities are not identified through traditional upper or lower endoscopy..

当通过传统的上或下内窥镜检查无法识别出这些异常时，它尤其有用。。

Medtronic said its offering features a link device that replaces traditional data recorders as well. The wearable, single-use device efficiently stores images transmitted by the capsule. It also alerts patients via haptic vibrations, audible signals, and LED lights when they complete the procedure. The company says its system minimizes discomfort with a patient-friendly adhesive, too..

美敦力表示，其产品具有一种链接设备，可以替代传统的数据记录器。这种可穿戴的一次性设备可以有效地存储胶囊传输的图像。当患者完成手术时，它还通过触觉振动、声音信号和LED灯提醒患者。该公司表示，它的系统也可以使用对患者友好的粘合剂将不适感降至最低。。

“Advancing diagnostic precision while prioritizing patient convenience is at the core of what we do,” said Raj Thomas, president of the Endoscopy business at Medtronic. “This first ingestion highlights the potential of the PillCam Genius SB kit to transform small bowel diagnostics, providing greater accessibility and ease for both patients and clinicians alike.”.

。“首次摄入突显了PillCam Genius SB试剂盒改变小肠诊断的潜力，为患者和临床医生提供了更大的可及性和便利性。”。
