A condition for determining that an examination by a capsule endoscope 3
(body insertable device) completes is set in advance. When a
predetermined time period has passed since the examination starts, and
when received electric-field strength of receiving antennas A1 to An
detected during a predetermined time period is not higher than a
predetermined value, the examination is determined to have been
completed. An examination completion determining unit C1 determines
whether the condition is satisfied or not. According to the result of
determination, a notification controller C2 makes a notifying unit 15
notify that the examination completes, and a power supply controller C3
stop power supply to a radio unit 2a. Thus, unnecessary power consumption
is prevented and the completion of the examination by the body insertable
device is recognized.
