GI Motility Monitoring
MTS2 is an innovative pill technology based on a magnetic tracking system.

The position and the orientation of the ingested pills are recorded through the whole gastrointestinal tract. From these data, detailed information about transit and contraction patterns is extracted.

MTS2 Capsule
The small electronic pill ingested by the patient emits a signal during its entire transit through the GI tract. This signal is recorded and subsequently downloaded to a data management station in the physician’s practice. The physician can immediately see the results and counsel the patient.

The MTS2 system is also able to track multiple pills simultaneously for a comprehensive and faster diagnosis.

Ambulatory Monitoring
The external detector is housed in a garment and has the feel of normal clothing. Immediately after ingestion the patient should not undertake any strenuous activity for a period of 2- 3 hours, subsequently normal active life can be resumed. The jacket must be worn overnight. Usually the pill is excreted within two days.

Results
When the patient returns the jacket, the data are transferred to a computer. The physician has access to raw data and to a report showing an overview of the transit.Segmental transit time, detailed dynamics of the progress through the small intestine and the colon (fast and slow progression, oral movements), rhythmic activities are displayed on the graphical interface. The 3D trajectory also gives information about anatomical conformation.
