Zephr pH-Z Impedance/pH Monitoring System
Traditional pH recording only records acidic pH reflux episodes. Impedance/pH detects both acidic and non-acidic reflux episodes. Combined Impedance pH recording is clinically useful in the evaluation of symptoms under PPI therapy, as well as for hoarseness, unexplained cough, and applications of particular interest.
Patients on PPI's who continue to experience symptoms such as cough, heartburn, regurgitation and chest pain often are difficult to diagnose using traditional acid (pH) monitoring approaches. The ZepHr® Impedance/pH Reflux Monitoring System employs impedance to detect ALL reflux activity and uses pH to categorize each episode as acid or non-acid for Total Reflux Monitoring. Comprehensive analysis quantifies all reflux patterns and symptom associations in patients studied on or off acid suppression medication. Having introduced impedance/pH monitoring to the G.I. market, Sandhill continues to evolve this unprecedented technology... delivering all the information you need for a precise, comprehensive assessment of acid and non-acid reflux as well as the correlation between reflux and symptoms.
Zephr pH-Z Impedance/pH Monitoring System combines the very latest in sensor and data visualisation technologies to bring an unprecedented level of accuracy and simplicity to oesophageal reflux monitoring.
