Medical capsule and apparatus for activating the same.

摘要

A medical capsule having an outer cylinder (2) and a piston (5) movable in the outer cylinder, the piston being activated by an externally given signal so as to discharge a medicine to the outside of the capsule or to suck in a humor for a sampling purpose. The capsule has a remote controllable means (S) including a normally-opened lead switch which connects a power supply to an activating means in response to an externally given magnetic signal thereby initiating activation of the medical capsule. <IMAGE>
