Non-Interventional Diagnostic Studies and Analysis

Endoflip® system for Impedance Planimetry

EndoFLIP is a new imaging tool which employs a balloon catheter within which there is an array of electrodes, along with a balloon pressure sensor.

Using a technique known as impedance planimetry, the diameter at each electrode on the catheter can be estimated. When the balloon catheter is inserted into a hollow body an image, extending up to 80mm long, may be constructed in 5mm slices.

Solar System for Manometry and Impedance

Measuring pressures through the whole oesophageal body and anal canal. HRM presentation of the results are now available. This method consists of measuring multiple pressures simultaneously. For instance up to 36 pressure channels spaced at 0.5cm to 2cm intervals. This allows detailed assessment of all relevant data for the whole oesophagus and anal canal.

EMG/Neuro Module for Neurophysiological tests

In the diagnosis of micturition and pelvic floor disorders, common urodynamic, pelvic floor and anorectal investigations are combined with studies to investigate neurological abnormalities. Neurological studies can greatly improve the quality of the diagnosis.

Ohmega System for Impedance & pH Recording

Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is caused by reflux of gastric contents into the Oesophagus.

Impedance-pH detects and analyses acidic, non acidic, weak acidic reflux and air episodes. Combined Impedance-pH recording is clinically useful in the evaluation of symptoms under PPI therapy as well as for hoarseness, unexplained cough, wheezing, non-cardiac chest pain and pediatric applications of particular interest.
