Abstract
Smooth guiding through the inside of a body cavity is carried out by a magnetic field applied from the outside of the body. The provided capsule medical device () includes a bio-information detecting device () for detecting bio information of the inside of a body cavity; a magnet () for receiving a guidance magnetic field applied from outside the body and generating a driving force; a coil () for receiving a position-detection magnetic field applied from outside the body and generating a position-detection signal; a filter device (), connected to the coil (), for attenuating an induction signal component which is generated by the guidance magnetic field incident on the coil (); and a wireless transmission device () for externally transmitting the position-detection signal which has passed through the filter device () and the bio information which has been detected by the bio-information detecting device ().
