Case Study Company Ensures Performance of Wireless Endoscopy System
The Given Diagnostic System has quickly gained acceptance among gastroenterologists for producing high-quality images of the small bowel without causing pain or discomfort. The system received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in August 2001.
The Given system is designed to be flexible so that a patient can continue a normal daily routine including walking, driving and working. Therefore, the external antenna system must remain comfortable and secure for eight hours. The key to the system's success is to make certain the antennas, which pick up the transmitted data and forward it to the data recorder, are reliably adhered to the patient's skin.
