Evaluation of the PillCam® Platform With the PillCam Crohn's Disease Capsule in Visualization of Lesions in the Small Bowel and Colon That May Indicate Crohn's Disease

This is a prospective, multi-center (up to 6 sites) study which aims to To establish the
effectiveness of the PillCam Platform with the PillCam Crohn's capsule as demonstrated by
visualizing the small bowel and colon in patients with active symptoms associated with
Crohn's disease (CD).

This is a prospective, multi-center (up to 6 sites) study which aims to evaluate the
diagnostic yield and safety of the PillCam Platform with the CD capsule in subjects with
symptoms associated with Crohn's disease. All subjects to be enrolled in this study will
have evidence of active symptoms associated with Crohn's disease. Each subject will be
required to follow a bowel preparation regimen and will undergo the Crohn's Disease capsule
endoscopy procedure and thereafter the ileocolonoscopy procedure on the same day. The
ileocolonoscopy procedure may be done the following day per physician discretion. If the
ileocolonoscopy procedure is done within 24 hours from the CE procedure, the subject will
stay on clear liquid diet. Observations/ assessments to be conducted in the trial detailed

hours)
