"We are pleased to report that we achieved a 25 percent increase in total revenues in the first quarter of 2011, fueled by sales of Sierra Scientific Instruments products, and by solid growth of our PillCam business in the EMEA and APAC regions," said Homi Shamir, president and CEO of Given Imaging. "Looking ahead, we are encouraged by several positive developments, including recovery of our core PillCam SB business in the EMEA region, which looks to be back on track, and the recent FDA decision to clear the marketing of PillCam SB in the U.S. for use in monitoring lesions that may indicate Crohn's disease. Finally, we are making progress towards starting the PillCam COLON pivotal trials in the U.S. and Japan."

Recent Developments
PillCam SB Expanded Indication -- In March 2011, Given Imaging received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to promote the PillCam SB video capsule for use in monitoring lesions that may indicate Crohn's disease. Sensor Belt Expanded Availability -- In February 2011, the FDA cleared revised labeling regarding the use of the SensorBelt in patients with a higher than normal Body Mass Index (BMI) of up to 43.3 kg/m2. PillCam Patent Infringement Lawsuit -- The Regional Court (Patent Chamber) in Dusseldorf, Germany ruled that the MiroCam capsule endoscopy system manufactured by IntroMedic of South Korea infringed two patents asserted by Given Imaging. The court's rulings allow Given Imaging to prevent IntroMedic's German distributor, Medwork Medicinal Products and Services GmbH, from selling the current model of the MiroCam capsule and MiroView software in Germany. International Colon Capsule Expert Meeting -- In February, the inaugural International Colon Capsule Expert Meeting took place in Italy, assembling a panel of gastrointestinal experts from around the world. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss and develop guidelines for colon capsule endoscopy in accordance with the methodology established by the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. Guidelines are expected to be published in the fourth quarter of 2011.
