performance

English translation: below

Medical - Medical: Instruments
English term or phrase: performance
The quality and quantity of images shown by the image workstation were observed; the positive symptoms of the digestive tract shown by the capsule endoscope as well as the compliance and adverse reactions of the subject to the capsule endoscope test should be recorded. Moreover the performance of the capsule itself should be observed.

Can the "performance" here be understood? If so, should it be in a plural form?

TIA!!!
