Abstract

To stably and properly monitor an inside of a body by using an easily operable placement technique, a capsule endoscopeto be swallowed from an oral cavityto acquire in-vivo information of a subjectand to wirelessly output for a transmission of the in-vivo information to an outside of a body, a string memberthat is connected to the capsule endoscopefor positioning the capsule endoscopeat a gastric cardia, and a fixing portionthat is a portion of the string member, is provided on a position with which a length from the capsule endoscopecorresponds to a length from the gastric cardiato the inside of an esophageal regionfor fixing the string memberthat has located the capsule endoscopeat the gastric cardiato the inside of the esophageal regionby an endoscopic fixture are included. As a result, the capsule endoscopeis placed at a position of the gastric cardiawhere an entire inside of the stomach is easily inspected, and the capsule endoscopeitself can easily be placed inside the esophageal region by using the fixing portion
