摘要

Treatment system to pass through the digestive tract (1600,1900) is provided. (1600,1900) includes an ingestible capsule the system is in fluid communication gas pressurization module that provides a gas and (1602), said gas pressure module (1602) at least the capsule, one balloon ( I and a 1604,1901). Furthermore, an exhaust channel in fluid communication with the individual balloon (1604,1901) of the balloon and the at least one (1610), the capsule flow of gas between the environment surrounding the capsule and (1604,1901) Balloon including vacuum closure member for selectively controlling the and (1608). The system also includes a (906) control circuit for controlling (1608) vacuum closure member.
