Cook Medical launches U.S. distribution of PillSense™: Novel blood-sensing technology
Cook Medical is now distributing the PillSense GI Bleed Detection System in the United States. PillSense is a device that can detect upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding in patients in under 10 minutes.
The PillSense GI Bleed Detection System was designed to help clinicians efficiently triage and prioritize patients with suspected GI bleeding, confirming bleeds in hemodynamically stable patients. This allows for a more efficient use of critical health care resources.
PillSense is the first FDA-approved ingestible blood detection system that offers rapid and accurate results, enabling health care providers to detect upper GI bleeding in under 10 minutes. A patient swallows the capsule, which travels through the upper gastrointestinal tract and transmits data to the handheld receiver that will display a simple and definitive result.
