The pH Capsule Calibration Kit is designed primarily for activating and calibrating the pH telemetric capsule, it includes the following: the calibration test fixture is a 10-inch square acrylic plate that contains a raised capsule holder for holding the pH capsule during calibration. The acrylic plate also has a clear acrylic block attached to it, for holding 6 test tubes. There are two large round holes in the sides of the plate: for holding the Saline and Rinse contains. There is also provision for placement of the glass Alkaline challenge container. Included with the Kit is a glass container labeled Saline, a glass container labeled Rinse and a glass container labeled NaCH03. The kit contains 6 test tubes, one spool of tether thread, solutions, a 6-inch Delrin capsule holder: for holding the pH capsule during the pH calibration procedure.
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.
