In clinical practice,examination of the hemorrhagic spot (HS) remains difficult.In this paper,we describe a remote controlled capsule (RCC) micro-system with an automated,color-based sensor to identify and localize the HS of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.In vitro testing of the detecting sensor demonstrated that it was capable of discriminating mimetic intestinal fluid (MIF) with and without the hemoglobin (Hb) when the concentration of Hb in MIF was above 0.05 g/ml.Therefore,this RCC system is able to detect the relatively accurate location of the HS in the GI tract.
