According to the reporter, they were getting a "capsule mismatch" error when they attempted to begin a study.They attempt to get the recorder to recognize the capsule by selecting "ok".It seemed that the capsule was not transmitting.The procedure was started with no problem.The recorder and capsule matched without any problem and the recording was started on the patient in the room.When the patient was transferred to recovery room, the recovery room nurse attempted to show the patient the buttons on the recorder to press for certain activities, but they noticed that the recorder was not responding.The recorder showed a message stating that the capsule was not within range or the recorder could not find the capsule.After the error, they could not reconnect the capsule and recorder.The patient also had something to drink by that point so they could not redo the procedure immediately.The patient was scheduled 3 days later.The surgeon performed the egd (esophagogastroduodenoscopy) procedure and it was noted that the capsule was attached and intact on the esophageal wall.It was removed by the surgeon and another capsule was placed.The 2nd procedure was performed without any problems.The recorder worked correctly on all their prior cases.They told that the problem was with the capsule.There was no patient and user harm.
