Internal gastrointestinal vibratory-stimulation system activation unit
Definition
A noninvasive, electrically-powered component of an internal gastrointestinal vibratory-stimulation system intended to activate an ingestible capsule (not included) prior to swallowing. Typically a small portable unit, it is intended to transmit a pre-programmed vibration protocol (vibration duration and resting stages) to the capsule but is not intended to modify the protocol parameters (i.e., not a programmer). Typically considered a complimentary therapy device, it is intended for use in both the home and clinical setting. This is a reusable device.
