Why this matters
A capsule-based approach to upper GI tract examination
AICAM combines cable-enabled image transmission with external magnetic and cable control to support physician-directed visualization across the esophagus, stomach, and duodenal bulb.
System overview
An integrated system combining cable transmission with magnetic control
The registered AICAM-S-1 system comprises a disposable sterile capsule endoscope, an image processor, and a magnetic control device. The confirmed disposable capsule endoscope model is AICAM-CE-1.
Disposable sterile capsule endoscope
A single-use capsule endoscope with an imaging unit, adjustable LED illumination, a permanent magnet, and an ultra-flexible cable.
Image processor
Receives and processes images captured by the capsule endoscope and supports image display and storage.
Magnetic control device
Includes a support device, cable control device, and magnet control device with a control handle.
Core capabilities
Cable transmission, combined control, and real-time imaging
Key system features follow the confirmed product architecture and terminology used in published clinical research.
Combined magnetic and cable control
External magnetic force and cable retraction or release support control of capsule position and orientation.
Real-time imaging
The image processor receives and processes images from the capsule endoscope for real-time display and review.
Upper GI tract observation
The system was evaluated for examination and focal lesion detection in the esophagus, stomach, and duodenal bulb.
Examination workflow
Preparation, capsule control, real-time imaging, and reporting
01
Prepare
Complete the site-approved preparation protocol and pre-examination assessment.
02
Swallow
The patient swallows the disposable sterile capsule endoscope after preparation.
03
Navigate
The physician uses the magnetic control device and cable control device to guide capsule position and orientation.
04
Observe
Images are transmitted to the image processor in real time for display and review.
05
Retrieve and report
After examination, the capsule is retrieved through the mouth via the cable, and the physician prepares the examination report.
Published clinical evidence
Prospective multicenter study published in 2025
A prospective, multicenter, self-controlled clinical trial compared CT-MCCE with conventional gastroscopy for upper GI tract examination and focal lesion detection. The study enrolled 180 adults at three hospitals in China.
The authors reported diagnostic performance comparable with EGD in the study setting, a lower incidence of discomfort, and no adverse events observed during the study.
