Interference Device) to help diagnose electrical and mechanical abnormalities of the stomach
and intestines.
The Squid magnetometer is a non-invasive investigational device that measures the electrical
activity in the smooth muscle of the intestines. Volunteers with normal bowel activity,
those with gastric problems, and diabetics with gastric problems will be studied under the
SQuid to determine normal and abnormal activity. Diabetics with an abnormal gastric emptying
study will be asked to participate.
