                                EXPLANATORY NOTE

     On July 26, 2006, Given Imaging Ltd. (the "Company") issued a press release
announcing second quarter and first half results for the period ended June 30,
2006. Copies of the press release and the Company's unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2006 are
attached to this Form 6-K as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively.

     The attached press release amends a press release that was issued earlier
in the day which contained a typographical error in the first paragraph under
the "Updated 2006 Guidance" section. As corrected, the first sentence under the
heading "Updated 2006 Guidance" reads as follows: "The company adjusted its
revenue guidance for the full year 2006 to $92 - $97 million and non-GAAP,
fully-diluted earnings per share to $0.04 - $0.14."
