Sometimes it’s important to monitor gastroesophageal reflux events. Although “heartburn” is usually a pretty good indicator that an event is underway, science can give us more information as to the duration and intensity. These methods, however, can be cumbersome. Enter ResTech and their new device:
Restech’s new Dx-pH Measurement System reliably monitors aerosolized pH events in the airway which are associated with gastric reflux. This system is the first to measure and record pH of the breath in real time…
The Restech sensor rests at the end of a thin, pliable catheter that is inserted through the naris and anchored behind the uvula. This simple procedure can be completed in a physician’s office with no additional equipment. Once the probe is in place, there is minimal interference with the patient’s eating, drinking or speaking.
