• has a history of complicated/obstructive diverticular disease.

• has a history of intestinal or colonic obstruction, or suspected intestinal obstruction.

• currently has clinical evidence of significant gastroparesis.

• has a history of significant gastrointestinal disorder, including any form of inflammatory bowel disease or gastrointestinal malignancy (celiac disease is excepted if the subject has been treated and is in remission), and/or anal fissures and fistulas.

It has not been tested for heating, migration, or image artifact in the MR (magnetic resonance) environment. If patient requires an MRI, verify Capsule expulsion via abdominal X-ray before undergoing an MRI examination.

• The Capsule should be kept away from implants such as pacemakers, defibrillators, nerve stimulators, and other devices that could be affected by proximity to a DC (direct current) magnetic field.
