Safe and simple, new IntraMarX® 3D Radiopaque Markers are used in diagnostic tests that assist in the evaluation of colonic motility in patients with severe constipation. IntraMarX® 3D can also be used for the diagnosis of many other GI conditions, including colonic inertia, bowel obstruction, hypomotility and outlet delay.

lntraMarX® 3D key features include:
• Easily distinguishable shapes on x-ray improves visualization – saving reading time
• Better resolution with lower exposure – improving accuracy
• Low radiation exposure – one x-ray for either simple or segmental methods

Two Diagnostic Methods for Colonic Transit Testing

lntraMarX® 3D for the Metcalf (Segmental) Method

One DOT capsule is ingested on day 1, one RING capsule on day 2, and one TRI-CHAMBER capsule on day 3. A low-radiation X-ray on day 4 and, if necessary, again on day 7 to determine the location and extent of elimination of the various shaped radiopaque markers in the segmental test. The IntraMarX® 3D package contains 3 capsules, one each of Dot, Ring and Tri-chamber, and is packaged with 10 packs of 3.

Standard IntraMarX® for the Simplified Method

One capsule is ingested on day 1. A low-radiation X-ray on day 5 determines the location and the extent of elimination of the radiopaque markers. The Standard IntraMarX® package contains 10 capsules of either Round Hollow, Double D or Tri-Chamber.
