What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

In this study the investigators will recruit patients who have already had an upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract endoscopy (OGD) and lower GI tract investigations which did not identify the source of iron deficiency anaemia, and who need the small bowel to be investigated. This will comprise both patients who would have proceeded directly to small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) under standard care and also those from whom an initial 'watch and wait' approach may have been adopted before proceeding to SBCE. The investigators propose to investigate these patients during a single patient visit to Leith Community Treatment Centre, Edinburgh, Scotland, with a CE marked robotic capsule system which can examine both the upper GI tract (i.e. the oesophagus and the stomach) and the small bowel in one investigation using a magnetic guided capsule. The aim of the study is to compare the findings fr
