GIVEN IMAGING LTD (NASDAQ:GIVN) - Given Imaging Ltd., incorporated in January 1998, develops, manufactures and markets diagnostic products for disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. The Company's principal product is the Given System, a wireless imaging system that uses the Company's disposable video capsules, which it refers to as the PillCam capsules. The PillCam video capsules are easily ingested by the patient and move naturally through the gastrointestinal tract without discomfort while wirelessly transmitting color images and data to a portable recorder. In 2001, the Company commenced marketing the Given System with the M2A capsule (which it rebranded as the PillCam Small Bowel capsule, or PillCam SB, during the year ended December 31, 2004), for detection of disorders of the small bowel. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had an installed base of approximately 2,860 Given Systems and had sold approximately 307,000 PillCam SB capsules in over 50 countries worldwide.
In November 2004, the Company received the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) marketing clearance for its second PillCam capsule, the PillCam ESO capsule, for visualizing the esophagus. It markets the PillCam ESO video capsule through a marketing and sales alliance formed in May 2004, with InScope, a division of Ethicon Endo-Surgery, a Johnson & Johnson company. The Company has also developed the Patency Capsule and system, which is a dissolvable capsule that enables physicians to determine whether there are obstructions or strictures in the gastrointestinal tract. It launched the Patency Capsule and system in Europe in November 2003, and has submitted the AGILE Patency System for FDA clearance, in December 2005. In December 2005, Given Imaging Ltd. launched a further advanced version of its RAPID software, RAPID 4.0, which supports and is compatible with the entire line of PillCam capsules available and is expected to improve physician productivity.
PillCam capsules
The PillCam capsules are miniaturized disposable color video cameras encased in a plastic shell, which incorporate one or more specially developed imaging devices based on complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. Other components include optics, white-light emitting diodes for illumination, an application-specific integrated circuit device for control and image transmission, low-power silver oxide batteries, an antenna and other discrete electronic components. The RAPID software, when used with the PillCam SB capsule, creates a graphic representation of the patient's gastrointestinal tract, helping physicians assess the location of the PillCam SB capsule within the body when an image is captured and assisting them in directing treatment to the affected area. The Company is selling PillCam capsules designed for visualization of two areas of the gastrointestinal tract: the small bowel and the esophagus.
The PillCam SB capsule transmits images at a rate of two images per second for approximately eight hours, resulting in approximately 50,000 images, at which time the operation is stopped and recording ceases. The PillCam SB capsule is used with a range of indications of the small intestine, including obscure bleeding, suspected Crohn's disease, iron deficiency anemia and suspected small bowel tumors. The PillCam ESO capsule contains an imaging device and light source at both ends of the capsule and is designed to capture up to 14 images per second as it passes down the esophagus. The PillCam ESO capsule can be used only with DataRecorder 2.0 or newer versions and RAPID 3.0 or newer versions. The AGILE Patency System consists of the AGILE Patency capsule, a dissolvable capsule the same size as the PillCam with a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag packed in a lactose and barium powder.
Data recorder and sensor array
After ingestion by the patient, the PillCam capsule transmits images and other data to a wireless data recorder through an array of antennae, or sensor array, that are secured with adhesive pads to the abdomen, in the case of a procedure performed with

About SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM
WWW.SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM is a service designed to help bonafide shareholders of publicly traded US companies fight short selling. SqueezeTrigger.com has built a proprietary database that uses Threshold list feeds and short sale time and sale data from NASDAQ, AMEX and NYSE to generate detailed and useful information to combat the short selling problem. For the first time, actual trade by trade data is available to the public that shows the attempted size, actual size, price and average value of short sales in stocks that have been shorted. This information is valuable in determining the precise point at which short sellers go out-of-the-money and start losing on their short trades.
SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM has built a massive database that collects, analyzes and publishes a proprietary SqueezeTrigger for each stock that has been shorted. The SqueezeTrigger database of nearly 2.5 billion short sale transactions goes back to January 1, 2005 and calculates the exact price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005 because the Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it aggressively. After the SEC passed Regulation SHO, exchanges were forced to allow data processors like SqueezeTrigger.com to access the data.
The SqueezeTrigger database collects individual short trade data on over 7,000 NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ stocks and general short trade data on nearly 8,000 OTCBB and PINKSHEET stocks. Each month the database grows by approximately 50,000,000 short sale transactions and provides investors with the knowledge necessary to time when to buy and sell stocks with outstanding short positions. By tracking the size and price of each montha'a"s short transactions, SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM provides institutions, traders, analysts, journalists and individual investors the exact price point where short sellers start losing money and a short squeeze can begin.
