The Heidelberg pH Capsule system is an assembly of devices designed to continuously monitor, measures and transmit information from the gastric and gastrointestinal systems. The transmitted gastric and gastrointestinal parameters from the pH Capsule are (i.e., pH or events), (e.g., gastric bleeding). The information from the pH capsule is received by the transceiver and then sent through the interface and to the computer. The computer software analyzes the information and displays it on a generated graph. The system assembly includes various solutions, test tubes, fluid containers and pH capsule calibration test fixture. The Heidelberg pH Capsule System is intended to help diagnose varies gastric and gastrointestinal pH related disorders.
An assembly of devices designed to continuously measure and transmit signals for one or more gastrointestinal parameters (i.e., pH, pressure, temperature) or events (e.g., gastrointestinal bleeding) from a patient to a receiving location for viewing. It consists of a battery-powered capsule swallowed by the patient, and a patient-worn or clinician-held unit designed to wirelessly receive data from the capsule to either transmit it (i.e., a transceiver) to a computing device or to display it (e.g., a receiver); various solutions/containers may also be included. It is intended to help diagnose gastric pH disorders and/or measure gastrointestinal transit times to evaluate motility disorders.
