Physicians should confirm capsule exit.  Monitor patients until capsule passage is confirmed.  

1. Use one of these methods: 

x Ask the patient whether the capsule was observed in his or her stool. 
x Download the test. Analyze the MotiliGI graph for evidence of exit: an abrupt 

drop in temperature or loss of signal that coincides with a diary entry for a 

bowel movement. 

x If you cannot confirm capsule exit cannot using these methods, or suspect a 

bowl obstruction, consider an abdominal x-ray and treat consistent with your 

management of a foreign object causing obstruction. An abdominal x-ray 
determines whether the capsule is retained and its location within the GI tract. 

If you suspect a delay in passage and the capsule is in the stomach, consider: 

x A pro-motility drug to help empty the capsule from the stomach. 
x Endoscopy to retrieve the capsule. 

If the capsule is in the colon, consider: 

x Laxative therapy to facilitate capsule movement. 
x Colonoscopy to retrieve the capsule.
