Given Imaging Ltd announced that the first in-human study analyzing remote magnetic manipulation of a PillCam video capsule was published in the June 2010 edition of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. Gastrointestinal Endoscopy is the journal of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, which validates the potential of magnetic maneuvering of the PillCam capsule endoscope. “This study demonstrated two things: 1] we can maneuver capsule in humans and 2] that the procedure is painless. We believe that these results underscore the value of conducting additional clinical studies in humans,” said Dr. Paul Swain of the Imperial College, London, United Kingdom. “Remote manipulation may improve diagnostic accuracy and is essential for the future development of remote controlled therapy by video capsules,” GIVN said.
