pH+Impedance monitoring allows for a complete evaluation of gastroesophageal reflux, adding all the benefits of the new impedance technology to pH measurement.
The revolutionary monitoring system finds all reflux episodes using impedance and categorizes them as acidic or non-acidic using pH.
This allows for the detection of acid and non-acid reflux and their associated symptoms for all types of reflux. Clinical trials clearly establish that non-acid reflux can cause GERD symptoms.
Patients tested with pH+Impedance Monitoring fall into the following diagnostic categories:
- Symptoms associated with acid reflux.
- Symptoms associated with non-acid reflux.
- Symptoms not associated with reflux.
- Diagnosis of patients with refractory GERD symptoms during medical therapy.
- Identification of patients lacking symptoms correlated with reflux.
- Quantification of anti-reflux barrier failure (example: "re-reflux").
- Testing of patients with or without anti-reflux medication.
