Using the M2A
®
Patency System
Overview
On the first day of the M2A Patency Examination, the patient ingests the M2A
Patency Capsule. Two days later (48–72 hours), the patient returns to the clinic to
check whether or not the M2A Patency Capsule was retained. If the Scanner does
not detect the Capsule, the GI tract is patent. If the capsule is retained and the
Scanner detects it, the physician may consider performing a fluoroscopy or X-ray
the same day, in order to locate the capsule. Eventually, the capsule disintegrates
into small fragments and is naturally excreted.
