(The catheter-free Bravo PH capsule Monitoring System made by Medtronic) is very dangerous and it could and will cause catastrophic and permanent damage to the esophagus. My name is Chris and I have been investigating the Bravo PH 48 hour capsule. If you know of anyone that has had the Bravo PH 48 hour test and has been seriously injured and/or has taken one's life, Please contact me **** I want to hear your story. I'm gathering more information about this very dangerous and potentially deadly medical device (Bravo PH 48 hour capsule). Thank you and God Bless.
P.S. DO NOT let any Doctor, Physician or Gastroenterologist tell you that the Bravo PH 48 hour capsule is safe. It is NOT safe.......The Bravo PH 48 hour capsule (made by Medtronic) is extremely dangerous!!!
Omg! I wish I did my research prior to the doctor doing this to me. I am having major problems swallowing and throat and chest pain. Now mi reading this and scaring me a great deal of some perm. Damage.
what are my options on getting this fixed? It will be a week tomorrow and still feels like I have this in my throat. If its removed is there more damage?

Diane are you still having problems from the Bravo probe?
I had a ph Bravo capsule in me now. I had the test about 10 days ago and have been so sick I and in so much pain that I do not know what to do. I am having severe chest pain and pain in abdomen so my pcp did a chest xray and they immediately stopped and wanted to know what the metal in my xray was. I indicated the only thing I could think of in me was the capsule that they told me would pass which has I no that it had not because I have been so sick I can not eat, drink or anything. My pcp dr is trying to get a response from my GI but they are not responding as usual. So there a bit of panic as I am considerable risk for any invasive tests or surgery due to a prior deadly event that occured when having a egd a few years ago. No one at the GI's office cares and I refuse to go back into a coma for another 7 months. I wish someone had warned me there could be side affects.
I just put in a reply to your statement and this does not sound good for me as I have been told I would never be able to undergo any procedure on my gastro/digestive/intestinal system ever again. Lucy
I suggest you call the manufacturer if you are having unusual side effects.
