• Subject with any condition believed to have an increased risk of capsule retention such as suspected or known bowel obstruction, stricture, or fistula.
• Subject with dysphagia or any swallowing disorder.
• Subject with serious medical conditions that would increase the risk associated with capsule or colonoscopy that are so severe that screening would have no benefit.
• Subject with a cardiac pacemaker or other implanted electromedical device.
• Subject expected to undergo MRI examination within 7 days after ingestion of the capsule.
• Subject with clinical evidence of renal disease, including clinically significant laboratory abnormalities of renal function within the past 6 months, or at any time in the past if not tested within the last 6 months, defined as creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and/or glomerular filtration rate (GFR) outside of the local laboratory reference range.
• Subject with known gastrointestinal motility disorders.
• Subject with allergies or known contraindication to the medications or preparation agents used in the procedure as described in the relevant instructions for use.
• Subject with comorbidities which, in the opinion of the investigator, will not be appropriate for the study or the subject has an estimated life expectancy of less than 6 months.
• Subject is considered to be part of a vulnerable population (e.g. prisoners or those without sufficient mental capacity).
