Video capsule endoscopy system capsule magnetic manipulation unit
Definition
An electrically-powered, noninvasive device designed to control/manoeuvre a video capsule endoscopy system capsule (not included) in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It typically consists of a large magnetic device intended to magnetically couple with the capsule (e.g., a robotic arm with a magnet at its distal end, whole-body magnetic bore), patient table, and computer/console with dedicated software and controls; it is not a one-piece, hand-held device.
