Given Imaging receives approval for capsule endoscope

Given Imaging has announced that Israel's Ministry of Health, Health Technology and Infrastructure Administration has approved PillCam Colon, the first capsule endoscope to enable physicians to visualize and evaluate diseases of the colon.

Rami Eliakim, director of the Department of Gastroenterology at Rambam Medical Center, Haifa, Israel, said: “PillCam Colon offers a non-invasive alternative for individuals who cannot or do not wish to undergo colonoscopy and presents an opportunity to increase adherence to colorectal cancer screening guidelines and save lives.”
