Endoscopy capsule for examining gastrointestinal tract, has magnetic element interactive with external magnetic field for navigating capsule, and outer side with electrical voltage subjectable electrodes

摘要

The capsule has a magnetic element (51), which is interactive with an external magnetic field for navigating the endoscopy capsule, which has a shape. An extension is formed in a direction of an axis (34). A constriction is pronounced towards an end in the direction of the axis. An outer side (61) surrounds the axis. The outer side includes two electrical voltage subjectable electrodes (62a, 62b). An independent claim is also included for a method for driving an endoscopy capsule containing a magnetic element.
