Device typeGastrointestinal telemetric monitoring system capsule, ingestible: A battery-powered (conventional or physiologic), electronic component of a gastrointestinal telemetric monitoring system designed to be swallowed by a patient for the wireless signal transmission of one or more gastrointestinal parameters (i.e., pH, pressure, temperature) or events (e.g., gastrointestinal bleeding). The capsule contains a sensor(s) and the telemetric signals it produces are detected by an extracorporeal (e.g., patient-worn) receiver or transceiver; information is displayed by the receiver, or transmitted by the transceiver to a computer with software for display. The capsule is excreted from the gut. This is a single-use device.
